LAS VEGAS – The construction industry is evolving, and women are playing a pivotal role in shaping its future. While still underrepresented, they are stepping into leadership roles, driving innovation and redefining what a career in construction looks like. Companies like Nigro Construction are proud to champion this progress, actively working to create opportunities, shift perceptions and support women in building long-term careers in the industry.
Women in Construction Week (March 3–9, 2025) is a moment to recognize the contributions of women in construction and the ongoing work needed to support their growth. This year’s Women in Construction Week theme, “Together We Rise,” celebrates the strength, knowledge, and unity of women and their vital role in shaping the future of the construction industry. Nigro Construction recognizes the contributions of women in the industry and remains committed to creating opportunities that support the growth and success of all employees.
Celebrating Women at Nigro Construction
To honor the hardworking women on its team, Nigro Construction hosted a celebratory lunch on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. The women of Nigro, spanning roles in finance, project management, engineering, marketing and more, play an essential role in supporting the company’s mission and success. Their contributions help drive projects forward, strengthen company culture and inspire the next generation of women in construction.
“One of the biggest misconceptions about construction is that it’s only about fieldwork. In reality, there are so many different career paths, from accounting to project management to engineering,” said Heather Cassel, Senior Staff Accountant, Nigro Construction. “At Nigro, leadership truly invests in employees, making it a place where you can grow your career while also feeling supported in your personal life. Our leaders understand that employees have lives outside of work, and that kind of culture is what keeps people here long-term.”

“We hire based on skill, experience and the ability to get the job done, because talent drives success,” said Cory Frank, Vice President of Business Development and Project Management, Nigro Construction. “Over the years, we’ve seen more women step into leadership roles, project management and key positions across the company, which only strengthens our team.
