EnerMech’s Post

Today is International Women in Engineering Day. Engineers are crucial to building and operating the energy assets Victoria’s future energy system needs. However, Australia faces a national shortage, with around 7,900 engineering jobs needed by 2030, according to Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). That’s why building the renewable energy workforce our transition requires is a key focus of our strategic plan. We’re supporting the sector to raise its profile with high school students, especially girls, to get them interested in careers in renewables as early as possible. As the transition progresses, we hope to see many more women in engineering. #INWED24

Yesterday was International Women in Engineering Day – an opportunity to celebrate the many amazing women working in engineering across the globe, including in Australia’s renewables industry. Women represent around 39 per cent of Australia’s renewables workforce, which is higher than the international clean energy average, and much higher than the coal, oil and gas industries. That said, a 60 per cent male-dominated workforce is far from equal. Representation of women needs to be higher, especially in leadership and engineering roles. That’s we why we’ve teamed up with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to launch the Grid Connection Engineer Graduate Program, an industry-first initiative for electrical engineering graduates. The program will offer learning experiences not available in other programs. By bringing together multiple employing organisations as hosts, grads will gain invaluable experience and new skills as they rotate through multiple work settings. Our first applicants are in place and we’ll be announcing the hosts shortly.  We’re also gearing up to launch the next wave of our annual Chloe Munro and Australian Institute of Company Directors scholarships, which are part of our Women in Renewables program. These scholarships enable the professional development of women in clean energy, and we have a proud history of exceptional candidates and winners. You can hear from one of them, Sera Tarpis, Engineer at AEMO, below. We’ll be launching the next rounds of both scholarships at the industry-leading Australian Clean Energy Summit in July: https://lnkd.in/geQ5WsmY Australia is crying out for talented individuals to fill the many critical roles in the transition, ranging from engineers to developers, planning specialists, project designers, lawyers, environmental scientists and many more. We are committed to helping as many people into the clean energy industry as possible, which is why we run our Career Launcher program, through which students and recent grads who identify as women can be sponsored by companies to attend our events and network with the industry.

#Fridaythought In the dynamic world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), the presence of women is not just important—it's essential. Yet, stereotypes persist, discouraging many talented women from pursuing careers in these fields. But why this gap? Society often pushes girls towards stereotypical "feminine" toys and roles, rather than encouraging their interest in analytical and technical activities. This perpetuates the misconception that STEM is a male-only domain. To change this, we must actively challenge stereotypes and provide young women with the support and resources they need to thrive in STEM. By promoting STEM education, providing mentorship opportunities, and showcasing female role models, we can inspire the next generation of female scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. It's time to redefine what's "sexy" in STEM—intelligence, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Let's break barriers, defy expectations, and create a future where women are celebrated as leaders and innovators in STEM. To all the women and girls out there: Your talents are needed, your voices are valued, and your potential is limitless. Let's build a world where every girl knows she can be anything, including a trailblazer in STEM. Want to know more?

Female leaders in the energy sector have the opportunity to ease the path for other women, which is now also being helped by new laws that require female inclusion, Proscovia Nabbanja, CEO, Uganda National Oil Company Limited (UNOC) said in the ADIPEC Decarbonisation Strategic Conference titled: ‘Harnessing the potential of energy efficiency to lower emissions’. She said: “I joined the industry as the first female technical staff in the entire Department of Petroleum, Exploration and Production… As a woman, I think you need to work twice as hard…But it doesn't mean that you shouldn't break the barriers… You have to demonstrate capability; you have to challenge yourself on a daily basis. But at the same time, as you challenge yourself, make sure that you lift other people to get to where you are. “Now, as a national oil company, of course, and the CEO of the national oil company, there are programmes that we've been intentional about. First of all, the law gives affirmative action. Our board has three ladies minimum. That's what it's supposed to be. Beyond that, of course, we've also set up through the national content programs, through the culture code to be as diverse as possible, to bring women to the table, to bring them into decision making, to make decisions.” #ADIPEC #ADNOC #EnergyTransition
