In their hard hats, high-visibility vests and safety boots, they climb up scaffolding to inspect viaducts and rappel down to underground railways over 20m deep. Consulting engineering plans, they ensure that work on construction sites runs like clockwork.

This is all in a day’s work for seven ambitious ladies working in Gamuda. From designing to contracting, they contribute significantly to mega infrastructure projects like the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit, Sg Buloh-Kajang Line (KVMRT SBK Line). By carving out successful careers in the company, they dispel the myth that the construction industry is a men-only zone.
