Francesca Farrell, Assistant Project Manager, BW Kennedy & Co.
Francesca Farrell
Francesca Farrell joined BW Kennedy & Co. as an assistant project manager in 2023 after graduating from Wentworth Institute of Technology, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering with a physics minor. As an assistant project manager, she reports to the project manager and supports the team in coordinating the project to ensure cost, schedule, document control and quality standards are achieved.
Francesca joined the construction industry because she wanted a hands-on job where she could participate in the project from beginning through completion. Through her college experience, she determined that she preferred working as part of a team rather than focusing solely on parts design or assembly, as she would have in engineering. The construction industry has allowed her to interact with many different people on a daily basis, and shows her how the systems she studied in engineering are applied in the project. Francesca enjoys seeing how teams come together for a common goal, whether it is maintenance work or a large ground-up project.
Since joining the company, Francesca has been working on multiple projects at the Lexington Labs complex, where she is exposed to new construction, core and shell renovation, and tenant improvement projects.
