2026 Women in Construction: Olivia Boyer, TFMoran

What current or recently completed project, accomplishment or initiative are you most excited about, and why does it matter for your team, clients or community? The project I’m most excited about is a multi-property shoreline stabilization effort on the Piscataqua River. It will be a hybrid living shoreline consisting of both hard armor and native vegetation, which is an increasingly attractive option in communities that regularly face the negative impacts of coastal storms. By using this approach across multiple adjacent properties, we can not only stabilize the bank and protect the existing residences from storm surge, but also provide foraging and nesting habitat for wildlife in the form of various native plant species.

What is one piece of advice or perspective you would share with women beginning their careers in the construction industry? Put effort into maintaining your team. This includes other employees in your company, but also external consultants, contractors, and engineers you may work with. I have grown such a great network of friendly, knowledgeable, and respected experts in my time with TFMoran. If I have a question regarding a project, I can often reach out to someone entirely uninvolved with that project for their professional opinion because I have a strong working relationship with them based on mutual respect and other past project involvement.
