TORONTO — PCL Constructors Canada’s special projects manager Cheyanne Hammell, a Mohawk College alumnus, has been awarded the 2023 Premier’s Award for Technology.
The Premier’s Awards, presented at the Colleges Ontario Higher Education Summit in Toronto, recognize recent and past college graduates from seven categories who have made outstanding social and economic contributions to their local communities, the province and beyond and who have made important contributions to Ontario’s post-secondary system, indicates a release.
Chosen from nominations submitted by Ontario’s 24 public colleges, the recipients must demonstrate outstanding achievement related to their college experience and have made a significant contribution to their communities.
A graduate of Mohawk’s architectural technology program in 2007, Hammell was inducted into Mohawk’s Alumni of Distinction this past fall in celebration of her professional achievements and dedication to improved diversity in the construction industry.
Hammell’s was inspired by her mother who also worked in a male-dominated industry as a pilot. She was the first female captain in her company to fly a Boeing 757.
Hammell began working in construction as a Mohawk College placement student with PCL. She was hired as a field co-ordinator upon graduation. She has continued to progress within the company into her current role where she leads specialized projects in the Greater Toronto Area, overseeing a team of 40 people in undertaking 25 to 30 unique projects at any given time for essential infrastructure such as hospitals, airports and offices. A career highlight is leading design management of Lakeridge Gardens in Ajax, the first long-term care home built under Infrastructure Ontario’s accelerated build program which was completed in 13 months.
