Women in Trades

Options
Hi.

 My name is Amie and I am an Oil Heat Systems Technician Apprentice. I am fresh out of school and would love to meet other women in non- traditional trades , especially Burner Mechanics. I am interested in discussing many things about the trade itself and what experiences you have had in the field. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to meeting you ladies!

  • Yay!

    We need more women in our trade.

    Yes sir and Mam!

    One of the best gas techs for one of our local gas companies was a gal.  Unfortunately she was about the only women I have met in the HVAC trade in 20 years.   Being back in Chicago, however, I expect I will meet more.   I hope we will see a much more balanced future in the trade.  



    Keep on, keeping on!

    Good for you Amie!

    By meeting other women in the trade I assume your talking about in person and not just through the computer.If you disclose your location I bet you will have better luck in getting what you are looking for.

    This site could use more Female Techs. (sorry Dan:)

    Good luck!
  • Women and steam/hydronics

    The women who have posted here and in some cases have repiped their own boilers have always shown exceptional problem solving skills. Do a search for vaporvac, and radiator ranger, and you will see what I mean. There are others I may have forgotten.

    There have been a few others who somehow felt that as women they would be unable to deal with the complications of the new boiler installation, without a man to oversee everything, so thank god you are not part of that group!--NBC

    Congrats!

    The thing I have noticed about women is attention to detail is exceptional.
