Her Story

About Oana

Oana Molosag is a passionate and detail-oriented CADD Technician currently transitioning to a Construction Technician , specializing in inspecting bridges, tunnels, and underground utilities with a strong focus on construction quality assurance. Born and educated in Romania in mechanical design engineering, she immigrated to the United States nearly two decades ago and initially built a career in the hospitality and fashion industries, including runway modeling and organizing charity fashion shows. Her dedication, precision, and collaborative spirit quickly set her apart in her engineering work, where she is known for delivering high-quality results and ensuring compliance with safety and construction standards. After returning to engineering studies in the U.S., Oana earned an Associate in Architectural Design from Triton College, transferring credits from her studies in Romania. She began her civil engineering career as a CADD technician and steadily advanced through hands-on work with underground utilities and infrastructure projects. In her current role with DB Sterlin Consultants, Inc., she combines her expertise in 2D and 3D modeling with meticulous inspections of civil infrastructure, often serving as the only woman on site, and emphasizes clear communication, professionalism, and accuracy. Beyond her professional work, Oana is deeply committed to community service and mentorship. She actively participates in women’s outdoor and hiking groups, organizes and supports fundraising events for causes like sickle cell disease and brain tumor research, and draws inspiration from working for a woman-owned company that values growth and leadership. Oana’s career journey—from fashion runways to bridge inspections—reflects her resilience, adaptability, and passion for learning, and she serves as a role model for women pursuing careers in male-dominated engineering fields.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Oana

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to my hard work and the system around me. Everyone in my company has been part of my success because they were there from the beginning till today to support my dream and give me the platform and all the tools needed in order to grow in my career. My professional growth is a direct result of the visionary leadership of Regine Jeune. As the CEO of DB Sterlin Consultants, Regine foster's a collaborative environment where integrity and excellence are the primary drivers of success.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best carrier advice I have ever received was to step outside my comfort zone, build strong professional relationships, to be proactive and adaptable.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

The best advice is to believe so much into themselves and their power that everything around them become just noise, and their dreams always has to be stronger than other people's opinion. I would also advice them to seek supportive workplaces, ask questions, focus on continuing learning rather than fearing mistakes.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

One of the biggest challenges in my field is working in a male‑dominated environment, often as the only woman on site. I see this as an opportunity to demonstrate confidence, communicate clearly, and earn respect while ensuring work is completed to the highest standards.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

The values most important to me are hard work, perseverance, confidence, supporting my community, and giving back to others, inspired by my past charity work and personal experiences with loss.
