Notable Women in Engineering: Violet Razo

Class of 2022

Since joining Pewaukee-based Ruekert & Mielke Inc. in 2005, project manager Violet Razo has made a positive impact on her clients, peers, mentees and leaders, said Steve Wurster, the firm’s chief operating officer. 

“Violet’s design projects have made a lasting impact on the quality of life for those living in the communities she’s served,” Wurster said. 

Razo’s notable recent work has included major road reconstruction design, storm sewer analysis and design, water main design, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, and storm water management planning.

“Violet’s skills are equally matched by her seemingly effortless ability to navigate difficult projects and find creative solutions to the most challenging situations. She makes our clients and their residents feel valued and respected. In fact, one of our clients still refers to an early road design project that Violet managed as ‘Violet’s Way’ because she was so great to work with. She’s one of our most talented project managers and an invaluable leader at our firm,” said Stan Sugden, president of Ruekert & Mielke.
