JACKSONVILLE, Fla- Liz Howard, P.E., Senior Project Manager at Superior Construction, has been honored with the inaugural PACER (Pavement, Asphalt, Concrete, Equipment, Rental) Award by ForConstructionPros.com. Launched in 2024, the PACER Awards recognize outstanding professionals both in the field and office for their remarkable contributions to the construction industry. Howard received the award in the Women in Construction category, which celebrates women whose achievements and mentorship inspire others at every stage of their careers.

With 26 years of experience in heavy civil construction, including the last three with Superior, Howard has led numerous transportation projects across the Southeast. Notably, she managed emergency repairs to the Sanibel Causeway following the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022.

In addition to her technical expertise, Howard is deeply committed to supporting women in the industry. She helped establish "Superior Women in Construction," a program aimed at fostering the growth and advancement of women in the traditionally male-dominated construction field. As a leader of this initiative, Howard ensured the program provided a nurturing environment for women at Superior Construction to learn, thrive, and share experiences.

"The mentorship aspect of this award is especially meaningful to me," Howard said. "I uphold high standards of performance from the people who work under me because I want them to go on to become the best manager, superintendent, scheduler, or tradesperson they can be."
