An interview with one of Pinkard's newest and youngest employees: Isabelle Hardie. Women in Construction Week: A Day in the Life of a Project Engineer 2025-03-04 Share Share Coinciding with the start of Women’s History Month, Women in Construction Week is an annual observance celebrating and promoting the role of women in the construction industry. As part of Pinkard’s mission to remove barriers and create paths to success for women in construction, we are focused on recruiting, mentoring and growing the next generation of female construction talent. Isabelle Hardie is one of Pinkard’s newest and youngest full-time employees. Fresh off her graduation from the University of Colorado — where she earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, not to mention triple minors in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, and construction management and practices — the Academic All-American was hired just last summer. In her short tenure as a project engineer, she has helped Team Pinkard wrap up the massive, $83 million Willoughby Corner neighborhood development in Lafayette and is currently on-site full-time at The Irving at Mile High Vista , a $32 million, seven-story affordable apartment building in Denver. On both those jobs she has impressed colleagues, clients and trade partners alike with her work ethic, attention to detail and capacity to learn, so much so that she is presently performing the duties of both a project engineer and a field engineer. “I can’t say enough about Isabelle,” says Construction Manager Joe Revielle. "She mows through any task you put in front of her and asks for more.” Revielle continues: “Although the industry is becoming a more inclusive place, there’s still an ignorance about what women in construction are capable of, which forces them to prove themselves at a higher bar than their male counterparts. Isabelle makes it look easy. She's already won over everyone she’s worked with. She’s bound for great things in her career.” Given her glowing reviews and fresh perspective on the industry, we sat down with Isabelle to chat about her experience as a woman in construction. * * *  What's your backstory before coming to Pinkard? I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up I was always in a pool, whether that was swimming or playing water polo, I was always trying to escape the heat. I then continued both sports at CU Boulder where the weather was more to my liking. I moved to Colorado for school, did four years at CU, and graduated last spring with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering before starting at Pinkard in June. Were you always drawn to engineering? I was always gearing towards that. In Texas, my grandfather was a civil engineer who designed and built schools. He got me to appreciate the idea of building things that people actually need. I was inspired by how that type of work has a fulfilling purpose and wanted my career to do the same. How did you end up working for a construction company? The plan was to become a civil engineer and design infrastructure. I did one road design internship and decided that was not the career path for me. There was very little collaboration in that role, and realized I wanted a career where I could interact with people daily. After testing the waters with a few internships, I realized construction was the field I wanted to go into. Did you have any reservations about entering a historically male dominated industry? I was already going into a male dominated industry [engineering] when I went to college, so I was kind of used to the idea. I went through four years of understanding that dynamic within group classwork and realized that it wouldn't be too big of a hurdle. If you can interact with people as an equal, that is generally how you are perceived. What’s the secret to navigating the construction world as a woman? It’s just a matter of proving yourself. Certain people might doubt you at first, but as soon as you prove what you can do, you gain their respect, and the disparity lessens after that. Because women in the field are still a novelty, people will talk about you and know who you are before they even meet you. The phrase “your reputation precedes you” is very much a reality and you just have to learn how to accept that. There are certain advantages and disadvantages to sticking out and you just have to create a reputation that is positive. What do you do as a project engineer? I am a mediator between all levels of responsibility within a project. I translate the wants and needs of our owner through the design team and ensure our crew in the field executes them to everybody’s standards. I do a lot of document and quality control, making sure the architect’s design is what's actually being built, and confirming that our finished product is what the owner is paying for. What's a “day in the life” for you? A day in the life is gathering information about why a detail in the design won't work as specified, taking it to the architect, trying to figure out a solution with them, and then ensuring that every problem gets resolved in a timely manner so that our building can be completed on time. Daily meetings and site walks ensure that what is on paper is actually translated to the work on site. What's your favorite part about the job? Building connections. I love talking to people, and to be good at this job you have to create trusting connections with everyone you work with, so they believe you when you say you’ll spend their time and money wisely. Creating those relationships is both the hardest and most rewarding part of the job. What's hard about it? Telling people things they don't want to hear. You might have to tell them that something is going to take longer than they want, or that it will be more expensive than they were expecting. It’s not easy or fun accepting that you can't solve every issue that arises, but it’s a crucial skill to have in this industry. Any highlights from your time at Pinkard so far? When we first put up the crane at The Irving, I got to climb to the top of it. It was scary, and I was clinging to the rails for dear life, but I got to send a picture of me letting go for 3 seconds to my mom, who of course freaked out, so it was worth it. What is it like entering the industry as a woman today? I’ve been lucky to have a good mentor. My Construction Manager, Joe Revielle, is very open to inviting women to this industry and he's helped prepare me for the hardships that I could face and coached me on how to overcome them. But honestly, it hasn't been that bad. I haven't faced much adversity and I’m surrounded by an extremely respectful project team who always supports me. Did anything surprise you about the real world of construction? You cannot get extra-small safety gloves anywhere. They only come in giant sizes, and it took me a lot of searching on Amazon to find ones that fit my hands. It’s a minor struggle, but a real one. How would you say the culture at Pinkard compares to the industry at large? Pinkard is extremely inviting and familial. The company definitely makes you feel welcome and supported in any way you need. I have friends in different companies who feel like they're just a number or some random name on an employee list and I have never felt that way here. What would you most like to see change in the industry? Honestly, I just hope that one day it's not a rarity to be a woman in construction. I’d love to see the day when it’s just another job that women can go into. Any ideas for how we could encourage that? I mean, it's trending that way. A lot of companies are still cultured to men, but I appreciate how [Pinkard] is more geared toward inclusivity, and not in a way that singles you out as different. The goal is to create a culture that respects you for your talents and your ability to do the job, not about whether you’re male or female, and that’s been my most appreciative experience with Pinkard. What advice would you give to women considering a career in construction? Don't be afraid to speak or be curious. You won't be considered weak if you ask questions. It does not mean that you are clueless, you are simply trying to grow your knowledge base so that the next time it comes up, you can be the expert.

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Denver Zoological Foundation on the Denver Zoo Tropical Discovery project. Denver Zoo Tropical Discovery Denver, Colorado, USA Denver Zoological Foundation 41,000 Sq. Ft. Public Projects, Recreation Tropical Discovery is a conservatory-type building that provides a real-life rainforest environment in a 1.5-acre tropical ecosystem. The Denver Zoo's exhibit and education center is home to 140 species of plants, 123 species of fish, and over 1200 animals representing over 200 species such as mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. An offshore coral reef, tropical marshes, temple ruins, cypress, and mangrove swamps have been created throughout the complex. With over 13 pools forming the pathway around the exhibit, 24 glass-fronted tanks, 3 waterfalls, and a jungle river, Pinkard faced very complex waterproofing challenges in installing four different waterproofing systems specified in the architect's construction documents. Intricate life support systems were installed that precisely regulate each exhibit environment for the vast array of both plant and animal species requiring maintenance of proper temperatures. The building is topped with two pyramid-shaped skylights providing natural light for almost 3/4 of the building. One of the skylights stands 45 feet above the ground. A temple inside nearly reaches the pyramid's peak. Although there are 22,000 square feet of display area, the total square footage, including service areas and holding pens, is nearly 41,000. The exterior involved Pinkard's execution of extensive architectural cast-in-place concrete work. With the construction of Tropical Discovery, the Denver Zoo is one of the few zoos in the country that has created natural habitats and biological ecosystems that blend the best of biology and botany. It is a fascinating and unique opportunity for visitors to experience the immense diversity of life in the tropics and to gain a greater appreciation for the fragile nature of this important ecosystem.

"Over the years, we’ve had a lot of contractors use Procore on our projects. However, none of them have been able to figure out how to make Procore send us an email that has a single-click embedded link to download the one file that has the submittal or RFI, including its transmittal/cover sheet. They struggle to combine the submittals with their transmittals, and many struggle with correctly naming the PDF. From what I see from your emails, Dave, you’ve figured all of this out. If you could send me the steps on how to set up Procore to do this, we can share it with our other project contractors and see if they can get it right."

Pinkard provided expert construction services for Security Properties on the Reserve at Northglenn project. Reserve at Northglenn Northglenn, CO, USA Security Properties 301,200 Sq. Ft., 270 Units Affordable Housing, Multi-Family Housing, Wood Framed, LIHTC, Occupied, Renovation, Ground Up Early in design, parking/ unit density complications with city planning and zoning required a dramatic cutback in the number of buildings SP was planning. The timing of the decision by planning and zoning jeopardized SP’s year-dated funding and required a quick, efficient response by the entire team to keep the project on track. Pinkard quickly worked closely with the client and EJ Architecture to work out massing strategies to balance the client’s unit density and parking needs with city planning and zoning restrictions. Despite considerable numbers of unforeseen conditions and numerous owner changes associated with extensive RFI’s, Pinkard stayed on schedule by taking advantage of available economies of scale. This allowed the team to increase productivity from completing four units per week to six-to-eight units. This was accomplished despite apartment-staff turnover and a steep learning curve for tenants and staff regarding move-out logistics and construction commencement milestones. Pinkard also collaborated with SP during construction to help SP to develop construction standards and specifications for SP’s company-wide building standards. Scope of work on the renovation includes new roofs, full paint, window replacement, new individual water heaters and HVAC, and ADA modifications. Ground-up construction consists of two new 40,600 sq ft buildings totaling 40 units.
