A big honor for Colorado District Project Engineer Caitlin Kaltenbaugh. She was named one of Colorado Public Works Journal\u2019s \u201cTop Women in Colorado Construction.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

In the feature, the Houston native discusses one of Flatiron\u2019s most important tenets for project success: strong communication. \u201cI work closely with my superintendents, project manager, crews, subcontractors, owners, and other stakeholders to ensure that everything is being planned and executed so everything continues on budget and on schedule,\u201d Kaltenbaugh explains in the Journal spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly very skilled and well respected\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jo Taylor, the managing editor of the Colorado Public Works Journal, says Kaltenbaugh was a natural selection for the feature. \u201cAs a board member of Women of Asphalt, I first met Caitlin at one of our events. I was impressed with her ability to talk about her work and how she manages projects alongside her male colleagues. She is clearly very skilled and well respected,\u201d Taylor says.<\/p>\n

Taylor is a veteran in Colorado\u2019s construction industry. She says the women selected for the feature are people she knows have developed stellar professional reputations.<\/p>\n

Publication heavily followed by several influential owners<\/strong><\/p>\n

Project Manager Matt Tolsma, who works alongside Caitlin at Flatiron\u2019s Exit 11 Interchange Improvements Project, says being honored by the Journal carries heavy significance. \u201cThe Colorado Public Works Journal plays a large role in the influential Colorado Contractors Association, and is closely watched of all of the state\u2019s high profile owners.”<\/p>\n

Katlenbaugh joined Flatiron in early 2018, and was promoted to project engineer in 2021. While her passion is for building bridges, she has worked on a variety of different Colorado projects, including the State Highway 7 to State Highway 72 Project near Estes Park, and the nearby County Road 44 Repair & Crossings Improvement Project.<\/p>\n

As she states in the spotlight, you can often find her and her fianc\u00e9 watching shows on HGTV. She originally came to the Centennial State to study and play soccer at the Colorado School of Mines. She ended up being named team captain her senior year.<\/p>\n

When asked what was the greatest part of this recognition, Kaltenbaugh doesn\u2019t hesitate: \u201cMy favorite part was being reminded that there\u2019s a huge community of intelligent, capable, and passionate women in the industry that can inspire and support each other!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
