2026 Women in Construction: Hannah Haskell, ReVision Energy

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? Our shop in Montville, Maine, just completed a 212-kilowatt ground mount array that is made up of 192 solar modules. I was able to consult on planning and placement of the array. We then supported the install team, just like we do with other projects; the site just happened to be only feet from the warehouse instead of a full drive! We just finished our big 2025 end-of-year inventory count in the warehouse. Our team really rose to the challenge to ensure success of industry standards to track and understand all items under our roof. Over 200,000 items were touched, counted and tracked!

What do you wish more women knew about the opportunities available in the construction industry today? I wish I had known earlier how many opportunities are actually available for women in construction and in the energy sector. You may have to look, but there is community to be found. ReVision Energy has co-owner resource groups that have done just this. One of them is a safe space designed for co-owners who identify as women or nonbinary to learn, connect, and find ways to support each other in the workplace and industry.

Share one fun or unexpected detail about yourself that colleagues might not know. In my 20’s, I lived fully off-grid in a yurt for a couple of years.

What emerging challenge or opportunity do you see shaping the construction industry in the next few years, and how are you preparing for it? One of the biggest challenges we as a company and industry face in the next few years is supply chain shortages. It is my job to work directly with warehouse, procurement, install, and operations teams to ensure that each project has the equipment and materials needed in the time allotted for construction. My team and I experienced this last year with some solar module shortages and this year we are working diligently with teams and technical experts in the company, so we have a buffer of inventory. My role in the warehouse is to find a balance and focus on the flow of what comes in and out.

What is one piece of advice or perspective you would share with women beginning their careers in the construction industry? Advice I wish I had when I first started would be – don’t be afraid to ask questions. This is a big industry, and it is okay if you don’t understand or need clarity. Curiosity is a strength and not a weakness. It is important to be able to come to the table, ask good questions, and stay curious. This is where learning happens. I have also come to learn that leadership doesn’t have to be loud and strong; there is a place for kind and patient leadership.
