Celebrating Women in Construction: April Gray’s Decade of Excellence at BGE
April Gray Reflects on 11 Years at BGE
As BGE celebrates 50 years of excellence, we take a moment to spotlight April Gray, a dedicated leader who has been a part of our journey for over 11 years. April’s career at BGE is a testament to the impact of women in construction, showcasing resilience, leadership, and innovation in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
A Legacy of Excellence
Reflecting on BGE’s journey, April emphasizes the company’s strong foundation: “Being in business for 50 years definitely shows our integrity as a company and the quality of work we put out.” Starting as a small firm, BGE has grown exponentially, a testament to the trust built with clients and the consistent delivery of high-quality projects. “BGE started off as a very, very tiny company, and we’ve grown so much. That wouldn’t be the case if we weren’t providing quality work to our clients.”
BGE’s “One Team” Culture
Company culture plays a key role in employee retention and satisfaction, and for April, BGE’s “One Team” philosophy has remained a constant. “It has always felt like a family. The company’s values are what have kept me here. I love the family-career balance that BGE offers, and my team, specifically, has been amazing. My upper management is incredible, and in all my years of working, this has been one of the best teams I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.”
Lessons Learned and Growth Over the Years
Having spent over 11 years at BGE, April has gained invaluable insights and professional growth. “I’ve learned that you have to be adaptable. When I first started, I was very much set in my ways. But over time, I’ve realized that in Construction Management, everything changes all the time. You have to be open to other ideas and be able to go with the flow.” She has also gained expertise in the intricacies of Harris County’s inspection process, describing it as an experience that has helped her refine her problem-solving skills.
Celebrating 50 Years and Looking Ahead
April’s journey at BGE mirrors the company’s larger story, one of growth, adaptability, and commitment to excellence. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we recognize the contributions of employees like April, whose dedication and expertise continue to shape our success. “What’s kept me here are the company’s values, the benefits, and definitely my construction team. My management team has just been amazing.”
With five decades of excellence behind us, BGE looks forward to the future of growing, evolving, and continuing to foster a culture of integrity, quality, and teamwork. Thank you, April, for being a part of this incredible journey!
