This research investigates the positive career aspect of the few professional women who have made it to the top of their careers within the Nigerian construction industry. It explores their career experiences and expectations, examined the challenges to their participation and their notable and career satisfying moments along their career path. A biographical interview was conducted with forty-five (45) female Professionals whose work cuts across all the sectors of the construction industry. The data collected were analyzed using thematic analysis method which involves grouping the results and organizing them according to their opinions on issues discussed. The findings show that their experiences are not peculiar to them because they are women but generic to both sexes which demystify the male-only image of the industry. The research recommends that the dissemination of information geared towards the enhancement of the image of the industry as it relates to women is necessary especially one based specifically on the opportunities available and the successes attainable within. It also developed guidelines for enhancing women's career within the Nigerian construction industry.
