Milestone Achievement: Janet Tse’s 10-Year Journey at Northstar
November 2025
Northstar is proud to celebrate Janet Tse’s 10th anniversary with the company.
With over ten years of experience in the AEC industry as an owner’s project manager, Janet has worked on a variety of capital and operating projects from planning through closeout. Her work includes projects in the pharmaceutical and higher education sectors across Greater Boston. Currently, Janet is managing the interior finish renovations in two occupied buildings, along with an 80,000 SF two-floor tenant fit-out for a pharmaceutical client headquartered in Cambridge Crossing, overseeing all phases from schematic design through project closeout. Before joining Northstar, Janet began her career as a structural engineer in the oil and gas sector.
What does Janet love about being an owner’s project manager? The versatility of the role. Whether she’s working on client presentations, managing budgets and schedules, reviewing design documents, or overseeing the progress of construction, each day is a new adventure. She enjoys collaborating with clients and project teams to solve problems and finds it rewarding to see the project completed.
Janet continually seeks to broaden her skill set and take on new challenges, not only to grow professionally but also to support her colleagues in navigating their careers. To that end, she has been actively involved with the Outreach and Scholarship Committee for the Professional Women in Construction (PWC) Boston Chapter. Through her involvement with PWC, Janet helps advance opportunities for underserved students and promote industry engagement. Her efforts include organizing annual student events, conducting school outreach for scholarships, and helping to inspire the next generation of A/E/C professionals.
Janet’s journey began at the age of 16, when she moved to United States as a high school cultural exchange student. She earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Oklahoma State University, followed by an MBA and an M.S. in Finance from Boston College.
Outside of work, Janet enjoys traveling and spending time underwater with marine life.
Thank you, Janet, for your ten years of dedication and leadership at Northstar. We look forward to watching you continue to grow and excel in your career.
