Professional Women in Construction

PWC is a national nonprofit organization founded in 1980 to support, advance, and connect women and promote diversity in the architecture, engineering, construction, and related fields. Fourteen industry leaders in Chicago came together in 2021 to extend that mission to the first midwestern chapter. Our vision is implemented by actively engaging our members in career development, hosting events that facilitate connection and foster open conversation, and providing leadership opportunities on member-driven committees. We welcome all genders in our membership - together we can do more to support women in our industry!

We support, advance, and connect women and promote diversity within the architecture, engineering, construction and related industries.

Ezgi Kosereisoglu Talarico

Senior Manager

Ezgi Kosereisoglu Talarico currently serves as Senior Manager, focused on project development in Higher Education, Workplace, Sports, Entertainment and Cultural sectors at Gilbane Building Company in Chicago. Her passion for life long learning and curious nature is evidenced by the multiple roles she's held with the company, from operations on the field, to project management, to preconstruction, and now being a part of the strategy side of the business.

When asked to share an important lesson learned throughout her career, Ezgi said, "Don't expect people to read your mind, you have to voice what you want."
