2024 Women in Construction – Karen Newhouse – Miron Construction

Posted by Miron Construction

A health care project in California about 12 years ago put Karen Newhouse on the path she is on today.

“I learned all about the lean philosophy and running lean projects,” said Newhouse, director of lean services with Miron Construction. “It set me on a path forward where I now travel to different project sites and teach lean constructions skills.”

Two and half years ago, Newhouse joined Miron to formally establish and grow the company’s lean program.

“It’s incredibly challenging to build a program from the ground up,” said Christine Bohl, Miron’s marketing lead. “Karen was not only up for the task, but has taken the time to observe, create a plan and gain buy-in, laying the groundwork for this program to be successful and take root within the organization.”
