According to Pierre-Philippe Guérette, General Manager of Centura since 2022:
“As General Manager of Centura in the province of Quebec, which includes two distribution centers, I made the decision in 2024 to become a partner of Les Elles de la construction because I firmly believe that diversity is a strength, and that equity helps build a richer, more innovative, and more human workplace.
We are proud to partner with Les Elles de la construction to highlight the role of women in a sector that remains largely male-dominated. Together, we hope to encourage more women to consider a career in construction — from job sites to leadership positions.”
Talent and passion have no gender
“It is with great pride that I have held the position of Branch Manager of Centura Québec for nearly four years. This appointment represents far more than a career milestone: it embodies the trust placed in me, the recognition of my journey, and the belief that talent and passion have no gender.”
“As the first woman to lead a branch at the national level, Catherine Martineau emphasizes the importance of her role:”
“Being the first female leader in a historically male-dominated environment is, for me, an honor but above all a responsibility. I hope to inspire other women to believe in their potential, to be bold, and to trust themselves.
I am grateful to my colleagues, mentors, and our leadership for their support and open-mindedness. Together, we will continue to build a culture of inclusion, respect, and excellence — a culture where everyone can thrive and fully contribute to collective success.
I am excited to continue this mission and to promote Centura’s values, with the conviction that diversity is a strength and that female leadership is a lever for the future.”
At Centura, diversity means listening to, valuing, and giving everyone a voice.
The company’s culture is built on equal opportunities and respect for individuality.
