Women in Construction Week Spotlight: Hannah Jeffrey
Ames Construction is proud to celebrate the extraordinary women on our team during Women in Construction Week—and every day of the year!
As we celebrate WIC Week and Women’s History Month, we’ll shine a spotlight on some of the women who contribute to the present and future of Ames and the entire heavy civil and industrial construction industry.

2 years at Ames
→ What made you join the construction industry?
I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Civil Engineering, which focuses heavily on design. What I realized is that I really enjoy watching the physical pieces come together on a jobsite and learning hands-on in the field.
→ What do you like best about working in construction?
The people I get to work with are so intelligent and skilled in their own crafts. I learn so much every day from them.
→ What has been the most memorable moment in your career?
Working hard on my first girder pick plan. I spent hours researching the different parts of cranes and talking with knowledgeable people about the ins and outs of each piece.
