This year we’re thrilled to celebrate Women in Construction Week by showcasing the talented women who make up our organization and industry. Meet Halley Gustafson, Marketing Coordinator at Veit & Company, Inc.!
Years in the industry?

What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on?
I have worked on numerous projects throughout my career, but if I had to pick one, I would say that I enjoyed working on the new construction of Costco stores the most when I was working as a plumber in the field. As a part of building several new stores, I became very familiar with the layout and construction schedule of the building. It was nice to have the knowledge and confidence to know what needed to be done when I was on that job site. Now that I work in an office-based role, I don’t get to work in the field every day. But, whenever I have the opportunity to visit a job site, I take full advantage of it. I capture content to showcase the amazing work our field crews do, and I also learn more about the industry and projects we are working on.
How did you get started in the construction industry?
I have been around construction my whole life as my dad and grandpa were both plumbers. In 2015 I worked as a summer helper for my dad’s plumbing shop before joining the local union as an apprentice. Later I pursued a marketing degree and joined Veit in 2023 as a member of the marketing team!
How are you celebrating WIC Week?
