Allyson Radford
Supporting Team Member
Allyson Radford joined Michael Baker in 2019 as a Contract Administrator for Construction Services/Aviation projects. Based in the company’s Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, office, she serves as an embedded consultant at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Allyson primarily manages the Department of Aviation’s On-Call Construction program, a series of contracts across trades to address immediate construction needs at PHL. She is a Certified Associate Project Manager (C.A.P.M.) and is currently working toward earning her Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
Allyson has a passion for helping others. Her past experiences participating in construction-based service trips in Peru and South Carolina inspired her to apply for the 2023 Michael Baker-B2P team. She was excited for this unique opportunity to join a team working toward a goal to benefit a community. Allyson is grateful to have been a part of this team that, for a moment in time, came together to do good. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, running, hiking and reading (especially to her niece).
What have you learned from working and interacting with members of the community?
This experience has reminded me of the value of connection and how vital it is to affecting positive change. A team of about 50 people—all with different backgrounds, levels of experience and speaking different languages—found ways to communicate, connect and uplift each other through the physical and mental challenges of each day.
