Women’s work
Engineering and electrical installation are traditionally considered male professions. However, S-Engineering’s female employees skillfully break these stereotypes, confidently moving toward their goals in their chosen careers.
On the eve of March 8, we’ve prepared several inspiring stories from our colleagues.
There were no electricians in my family — I’m the first. But I met my future husband during our joint studies, and now we work together at S-Engineering. I enjoy the process of installation itself, reading diagrams, and doing things with my hands. I feel comfortable in a male team. I studied for eight years among guys, so I’ve already gotten used to it — I like working in such an environment.
Lyudmyla, electrical installer
Before I got this job, I didn’t even know such a profession existed — a marker. But once I started working, I got into it, and I liked it. By education, I’m a communications radio technician. Electricity isn’t exactly my specialty, but they go hand in hand. The job has given me engineering and technical thinking and an understanding of production processes. Assembling electrical panels is a very responsible job. I still need to study a bit more, and then I can think about career growth. In six months, I’ll have my diploma. Male colleagues always explain everything and answer all my questions. Even if something needs to be repeated several times, they always do it.
Oleksandra, electrical equipment marker
I have extensive work experience, and I truly love what I do. I started as a storekeeper in a company that produced electrical switchgear. Then I learned to read diagrams and mastered all the subtleties of installation. What I like most is the final result: the finished product looks beautiful! Neatly arranged wires look like lace. The result is very inspiring — what we make with our own hands later lights homes and apartments and powers factories. I’ve often thought about it, and it makes me love my profession even more.
Liubov, electrical installer
When I was choosing which university to enter, I wanted to get a technical education, although I wasn’t sure in which field. I graduated from the Academy of Food Technologies, Faculty of Automation, and decided to work in my profession. Everyone at our department knows S-Engineering — we even have an S-Engineering computer lab where we had our classes. While studying, I worked in the university’s laboratory, which sparked my interest in this field. We developed this lab ourselves — now it has many machines and other automation and hydraulics equipment that you can touch, turn, and explore. But teaching is not for me — I prefer hands-on work like at S-Engineering. Currently, I’m designing a metal structure for motor replacement and preparing documentation for manufacturing parts in the workshop. Previously, I worked on fire alarm systems and corrected as-built documentation.
Natalia, design engineer
When I applied to university, the name of the faculty caught my attention. I was drawn to the topic of energy-saving technologies. Later, I became more interested in electricity and changed my faculty. After my third year, I came to S-Engineering for an internship, and now I’ve been working here for seven years. I started as an electrical installer, advanced through positions, and now I’m the head of the Technical Control Department. I’ve always enjoyed working and studying in a male team — the environment here is very supportive. I haven’t achieved everything I want yet — there’s still room to grow. My position is multifaceted, allowing me to study work processes from different perspectives and directions.
