Davinette Stam was introduced to the construction industry while doing administrative and clerical work for a startup company that planned to build a silicon wafer manufacturing plant in Hillsboro. She gained several years of experience in reading blueprints, facilities operations, manufacturing and preventive maintenance.
鈥淚t gave me a sense that this is somewhere I want to be. I liked being out in the field and seeing how things got built,鈥� she said.
She started JDS Steel in 2023 and partners with companies that are looking for a COBID-certified business to complete structural steel work on bridges and buildings.
鈥淚 had fallen in love with this, had been doing it for many years and was drawn to learn the process,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 am a women-owned, minority-owned business and I can do project management. I can also work with general contractors and help buy out the steel packages.鈥�
