WiOPS: Women in Construction Operations

I have been fortunate to work with Erin Azevedo last year when she was a member on our panel for AGC Construct as well as last month when she and Cupertino Electric, Inc. hosted our June WiOPS norcal event. This member of the month is well deserved. If you ever see her walking around your job site say hi to her!

Erin Azevedo is a Project Executive Cupertino Electric, Inc. with nearly two decades worth of experience! Erin's best part of her job undoubtedly lies in the people she works with. Every interaction, whether solving problems over the phone or strategizing with her team, brings a sense of fulfillment. Collaborating with passionate individuals who share a commitment to excellence makes each day rewarding. Further, for any young woman entering this dynamic industry, my advice is simple yet crucial: embrace every opportunity to make a difference. Approach each task with dedication, remain curious, and never hesitate to seek clarity or guidance. Your contributions matter, and your perspective is invaluable.
