💪✨ Ending Women's History Month by celebrating the powerhouse women-owned businesses in PHCC San Diego! 🚀🔥 Shoutout to San Diego Backflow and Allegiance AC for leading the way in the plumbing and HVAC industries. Your dedication, expertise, and leadership inspire us all! 💙👏

Sarah Wood: At Allegiance, she’s cultivated a culture of inclusion and excellence, providing her team with ongoing education, industry coaching, and leadership opportunities. Wood's strategic investments—including a tech-driven scheduling system—have set the company apart as a leader in both customer service and operational efficiency.

Jennifer Fulton: Being a woman in construction is all about breaking down barriers and defying expectations. It’s an industry that has traditionally been dominated by men, but that’s changing, and women are making incredible strides. I believe women bring unique perspectives, attention to detail, and strong leadership qualities to the table that are often undervalued or overlooked.
The best advice I can offer is to stay resilient, support one another, and take pride in the impact we’re making. Every day, women in construction are proving that skill, dedication, and determination aren’t defined by gender. The more we push forward, the more we inspire others to follow.
“Success in this industry isn’t about gender—it’s about vision, grit, and adaptability,” Wood explains. “I want to be an example for other women who may be hesitant to enter trades. We belong in this space, and we’re thriving.”

#womeninconstructionweek Women in construction are most prevalent in office and administrative roles, composing 80% of these positions. However, they remain underrepresented in field-based roles, with only 4-5% of the construction and extraction roles.

Also, a special thank you to the San Diego Workforce Partnership and the San Diego Housing Commission for letting us participate in their apprentice fair.
