International Women’s Day – Ciara shares her passion for empowering others in PJ Heagrty.

Empowering Women in Health and Safety, Ciara Nolan, an Environmental, Health, and Safety Coordinator (EHS) at PJ Hegarty, is committed to mentorship and creating a supportive work environment. Having worked with the company for seven years, she thrives in the dynamic and family-oriented culture. “The culture on a PJ Hegarty site is family orientated,” she shares, emphasising the importance of community and looking out for one another when working in construction.

Her journey into health and safety wasn’t straightforward, but her experiences have strengthened her passion for Empowering Women in Health and Safety. Ciara is a member of PJ Hegarty’s Empowering Women in Construction group, driven by her belief in leadership through education. “It’s important to share my experiences as a woman in the construction industry to make roles in health and safety more visible,” she says.

Through mentorship and advocacy, Ciara is paving the way for women to embrace opportunities in the industry, encouraging them to “embrace every opportunity, to learn and grow and don’t be afraid to break stereotypes.”
