Today is International Day of Women in Mining — a global moment to recognise the contributions of women across our industry. 👷♀️♀️
At Newmont Boddington, women like Allaina are building rewarding careers and helping shape the future of mining.
For Allaina, finding the right career meant taking a different path. After starting out in nursing, she chose to pursue a trade, looking for stability and a hands-on role.
Now an Auto Electrician at Newmont Boddington, she enjoys the variety each day brings.
“No day is the same — the best part is the satisfaction of fixing a tricky fault,” says Allaina. 🔧
It’s also the environment that’s made an impact.
“Everyone looks out for each other. Mining isn’t as rough as I thought — the safety and systems in place make it a great place to work.” 🦺
Allaina is passionate about encouraging more women to consider a career in mining.
“100% go for it. Be yourself and don’t worry about the stigma — everyone is supportive.” 🤝
Outside of work, she enjoys helping out on her family farm and playing netball in her local community. 🌾🏐
