Tammy Hamelin

Tammy Hamelin serves as Estimating Pre-Construction Manager at a construction firm, a position she has held for one year. With more than 20 years in the construction industry, she started as a project engineer, progressed to project manager, and worked extensively as an owner's project manager before shifting focus to estimating to reduce stress. She attended a technical high school where she studied Machine Tool and Die, then returned to school as an adult to earn a bachelor's degree in interior design, during which she took electives in project management and civil engineering that aligned with her career path. Her passion for architecture and interior design, combined with an internship in construction, led her into the field. Tammy attributes her success to never giving up and remaining persistent. She emphasizes the importance of work-life balance after years as a workaholic and advises others to be a sponge by learning from peers, shadowing them, and continuously acquiring new knowledge each day.
