When you think of a career in construction, the first image that probably springs to mind is a man in a hard hat operating heavy machinery. But did you know that there are now more opportunities for women in the construction industry than ever before?

“Women have the power to shape spaces, communities, and lives – and there is no better time than now for them to make their mark in the construction industry,” says Shane Perry, managing director at Max Funding.

From carpentry and welding to masonry and plumbing, there are plenty of reasons why women should consider a career in construction. Let’s take a look at five of them below.

Reason # 1: Financial Security

The construction industry pays well above average wages for all positions—from laborers to supervisors to project managers. The pay is competitive, and with the cost of living rising each year, a career in construction can provide you with financial security for your future. You can also earn additional certifications and licenses to boost your earning potential further.

Reason # 2: Career Opportunities

The construction industry is always looking for qualified workers, so finding job openings at any level is easy. Whether you want to be an electrician, plumber, carpenter, or something else, you have an opportunity. Additionally, you can quickly move into higher-paying roles with more responsibility over time as your skills improve and your experience grows.

Reason # 3: Variety & Flexibility

No two days are ever the same when you work in construction – each day brings challenges and opportunities for growth and development. You could be building houses one day, working on a high-rise office tower the next, or even travelling worldwide on projects!

Plus, if you’re willing to put in a bit of extra effort, many companies offer flexible hours so that you can balance your work life with other commitments outside of your job.

Reason # 4: Workplace Culture & Benefits

Constructions sites often have a strong camaraderie – everyone works together as a team towards a common goal and relies on each other’s strengths to make it happen. Many employers also offer additional benefits such as health insurance plans and retirement savings options which are great incentives for employees who want stability on and off the job site.

Reason # 5: Making A Difference
