As the construction and trade industries continue to evolve, International Women’s Day offers a moment to recognise the women working across skilled roles from site based trades to specialist and technical positions and the importance of ensuring they are properly supported on the job.

While construction remains a male dominated sector, industry data shows that women’s participation has increased over time, with greater visibility and discussion around inclusion, skills and long term workforce change. As more women build careers on site, attention is increasingly turning to the practical realities of the job including the need for workwear that performs properly in demanding environments.

Key considerations across the range include:

Fit designed around the female form to support movement and comfort

Practical features such as accessible pockets, reinforced stress points and durable fabrics

Weather ready options suited to year round site conditions

A consistent design approach aligned with Site’s wider performance standards

Site Heyward Womens Work Trousers

Site Caffery Short Sleeve Womens T-Shirt

Made for warmer days on site this comfortable, regular fit, black t-shirt will keep you cool, but can also be used as a layer in colder months proving to be a year-round winner.

From visibility to practicality

For many women working in trade roles, clothing has historically been a compromise often relying on downsized men’s garments that don’t reflect differences in fit, movement or comfort. Poorly fitting workwear can impact everything from mobility and confidence to comfort over long shifts.

Site’s approach to women’s workwear focuses on addressing those practical challenges head on. Rather than adapting existing designs, the women’s range is built around the same core principles as the wider Site offer: durability, functionality and performance, with fit designed to support real work.
