Building Excellence Through Precision and Leadership: Jame Bryant
March 1–7, 2026 marks Women in Construction Week (WIC Week)—a national celebration recognizing the vital contributions of women across the construction industry. Organizations like the National Association of Women in Construction - Puget Sound Chapter continue to advocate for leadership development, visibility, and expanded career pathways for women in trades, engineering, operations, and project management.
At Holaday-Parks, we’re proud to recognize another leader whose dedication and professionalism continue to shape our teams and our projects—Local 26 Journeyman Plumber Jame Bryant.
A Career Built on Growth and Grit
Jame entered the construction industry driven by a desire to build something meaningful. What began as an opportunity quickly became a long-term career grounded in continuous learning, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence. Over the years, she has grown alongside the company, taking on increasing responsibility and refining the technical and leadership skills that define her role today. Construction demands resilience, precision, and the ability to think several steps ahead—and Jame’ embodies all three.
Her path reflects what Women in Construction Week represents: progress earned through consistency and determination.
The Power of Showing Up
In the MEP/AEC trades, success requires excellence not only in your field, but in your collaboration. Every project depends on coordination between field teams, engineers, project managers, vendors, and support staff. Jame understands that her role is part of a much larger system and she approaches every job with professionalism and accountability.
She describes the most rewarding part of her work as seeing projects come together after months of coordination and problem-solving. The ability to look back at a completed facility and know she played a part in its success continues to fuel her passion.
Even in high-pressure moments, she remains focused on solutions rather than obstacles—an approach that strengthens both project outcomes and team morale. Those who work alongside Jame consistently note her positive, can-do attitude. She is known for her professionalism in the field, her ability to collaborate with a wide range of personalities, and her clear communication with coworkers and other trades. When conflicts arise on site, she steps in ready to adapt and help problem-solve, reinforcing the teamwork that complex projects demand.
Leading Through Example
When asked what has shaped her most professionally, Jame points to the importance of mentorship, strong leadership, and being surrounded by people who expect excellence.
Construction can be demanding. It requires clear communication, decisiveness, and confidence—especially for women navigating traditionally male-dominated environments. Jame has met those expectations by leaning into growth opportunities and proving that competence and leadership speak for themselves.
Her leadership style reflects steady confidence, respect for others, and a willingness to take ownership. She understands that credibility in construction is built through action, consistency, and follow-through.
General Foreman, Tony Bandli says, “Jame brings a positive, professional attitude to every jobsite. She’s dependable, willing to put in the work—whether that means long days or off hours—and is well respected in the field. I’m thankful to have her on our team. She’s already successful, and I know she has a bright future in the plumbing industry.”
The Bigger Picture
The construction industry continues to evolve. Women are not only participating, they are leading across project management, safety, engineering, fabrication, finance, operations, and field leadership. Women like Jame demonstrate that construction careers offer long-term growth, meaningful impact, and leadership opportunity to anyone. Her journey is not defined by a single milestone, but by steady advancement, professional maturity, and the example she sets for those around her.
Beyond the Job
Outside of work, Jame values time with family and the personal growth that comes from balancing career and life responsibilities. That balance—like construction itself—requires planning, discipline, and commitment.
A Commitment to Excellence
Women in Construction Week is about more than recognition. It’s about honoring the professionals who show up daily, solve complex challenges, and strengthen the industry through their expertise. Jame Bryant represents that commitment whole-heartedly.
Her dedication, professionalism, and leadership continue to make a lasting impact on our teams and our projects. We are proud to celebrate her—and all the women who are helping shape the future of construction.
