Your Voice. Your Power. | Angela Hucker | TEDxHobart

Construction is a male dominated industry and women are the minority. Learn how to access the power of your voice to call out the systemic and pervasive issues that women face within the industry. Angela, CEO and Founder of EPIC, has over 25 years in the construction industry, beginning in her family's commercial landscaping business. She broke barriers by becoming one of the first women in Queensland skilled in locksmithing. Her expertise spans oil and gas, civil engineering, and renewables, with work in Dubai, Singapore, New Zealand, and Pakistan, and features on the US TV series "Mega-Structures."
Her experiences as a FIFO worker inspired her to address the challenges women face in construction, leading to the creation of EPIC. Angela is active in the National Association of Women in Construction, focusing on diversity, inclusion, and advocacy. She also volunteers with White Ribbon Australia, Beacon Foundation, Women Building Australia, and Be Hers.
Angela is dedicated to making the construction industry more welcoming for women and driving it towards a sustainable future. Her leadership and commitment are paving the way for future generations of women in construction.
