Handling a construction project is no easy task—it takes careful planning, solid communication skills, and a wealth of knowledge. Leading a team that oversees these projects is even more challenging. This is exactly what Jessica Arens stepped up to do when she was promoted to Director of Project Management earlier this year.

“It’s different being a woman leader in this field, but when I’m at Korellis, it doesn’t feel that way,” she said. “Everyone here is treated exactly the same. It’s a very fair team, and I appreciate that they acknowledge the expertise that different women can provide. They don’t hold someone back because they’re a woman trying to make it in the construction industry.”

Thank you, Jessica, for being such an important part of #TeamKorellis for the last 8 years!

We appreciate NWI.Life for taking the time to highlight Jessica and her involvement with our U.S. Department of Energy projects.
