Women have an innate and enormous capacity to persevere and rise to any occasion, which is evident in the first annual Constructech Women Heavy Equipment Operator winners.
The Women Heavy Equipment Operator Awards honors the 10 most successful women who are working in the construction and mining industries. The women were nominated by their peers and are chosen based on the nominees' machine ability, mechanical aptitude, and how the individual embraces technology. Read this here.
Judges also took into consideration how many hours each candidate worked without a recordable incident, mentorship skills, and the challenges that each individual has had to overcome to make their mark within mining and construction.
"The women have persisted in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry and have done it with care, precision, stalwartness, meticulousness, and an openness to continue to learn and mentor others with grace in the space," says Peggy Smedley, editorial director of Constructech magazine and president of Specialty Publishing Media. "They are ensuring that the work performed is done right, safely, and with the latest technological innovation in hand." Read all the related news.
