Mary Veldkamp
Senior project manager
FCL Builders
Background: Mary Veldkamp is a highly skilled professional with experience managing projects in the multifamily, healthcare, office and industrial sectors. Serving as a mentor to her team, she offers dedicated guidance to ensure project success. Mary received a bachelor’s degree in construction engineering technology from California State Polytechnic University – Pomona.
Key to success: “I’ve always embraced opportunities and challenges that came my way, even when they pushed me out of my comfort zone. That nervous excitement helped me develop the skills needed to advance my career. Building lasting relationships has also been important not just for my current project but for creating future opportunities.”
Source of pride: “I was recognized for my contributions as one of Constructech Magazine’s 2016 Top 50 Women in Construction and received the Habitat for Humanity Builders Blitz Award in 2019. I am also DBIA certified and completed the first design/build project at Disneyland. The project involved repurposing unused space into areas for staff and guests with a limited footprint and incorporating natural light into a basement area.”
Surprising fact: “ I am an artist and love to paint with oils. I have participated in several multi-artist and one-woman shows for my work over the years.”
