2023 Women in Construction: Kurstin Reuschel, American Construction Corp.

What was your greatest professional achievement or most notable project in the last 12 months? It’s always exciting to see a project you worked on finish, especially when you work in preconstruction where life primarily exists in 2D. I worked extensively on a particular restaurant project doing things that were not in my typical day to day. It was so fun to see everything come to life in the final product.

What made you interested in seeking a career in the AEC industry? I didn’t originally plan to be in construction. I came out of college with an open mind and by happenstance ended up at a construction company. I fell in love with the industry and was lucky to have a lot of people along the way recognize what I was capable and pushed me to pursue bigger career goals. I wish I knew more about construction prior to going to college, but it wasn’t an avenue I ever in my wildest dreams imagined for myself.
