Bluescape’s Jane Almey champions women in Toronto highrise construction | Daily Commercial News | Associate Provost, Co-operative and Experiential Education

University of Waterloo civil engineering graduate Jane Almey is helping lead major highrise construction projects in Toronto while championing greater representation for women in the industry. A graduate of Waterloo’s co-op program, Almey completed six work terms across consulting, municipal and project management roles—experiences that ultimately shaped her career path in construction leadership. Now a managing partner at Bluescape, she continues to advocate for more women entering the field, highlighting both the progress made and the work still needed to close the gender gap. Her journey reflects how Waterloo’s co-op program helps students explore career paths and build the experience needed to lead in traditionally underrepresented industries.
