Maritime Electric is taking steps to increase awareness of opportunities available for women to pursue a career as a Power Line Technician (PLT).
Join us on Friday, May 28 from 10:00 - 11:00 am for Powering Opportunities for Women to learn more about Maritime Electric and pursuing a career in the utility industry as a PLT.
Our guest will be Maureen Mix, Human Resources Manager of Maritime Electric and an experienced HR professional in multinational technical organizations including the aerospace, bioscience and utility industries. As part of the Maritime Electric senior management team, Maureen is committed to focusing an inclusive and diverse workforce for all the employees on PEI.
Maritime Electric participated in the development of the Canadian Electricity Association guidelines on Advancing Women in Skilled Trades, which was released on March 8. These guidelines provide utility best practices on attracting and retaining women in skilled trades in Canada who are currently vastly still underrepresented.
