Snapshot: Julie Savitt, President, AMS Earth Movers

Julie Savitt has a pink construction helmet. She knows her way around a semi-truck and can talk “stone” with the best of them. She is a woman in a male- dominated field who drew on the business lessons she learned from her grandfather – who was also in the Chicago construction field – to build a new kind of construction company: one that is happy, healthy, green and discrimination free. Today AMS Earth Movers is an award-winning, WBE certified company that specializes in the haul-in and haul-off of a variety of materials including aggregate, rock salt, brick, broken concrete, asphalt and topsoil.
