Rensource Distributed Energy Limited has appointed a new cohort of female Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The new employees were the highest performers in a competency test administered by the company, from the pool of over 300 applications received.
This engagement of the engineers was preceded by a rigorous recruitment process which saw them writing aptitude test, undergoing group interviews and one-on-one interview with the recruiting manager.
Anu Adasolum, chief operating officer, Rensource Energy, while formally welcoming them the female engineers said that the decision of the company to specifically target female engineers in its latest recruitment exercise was part of the company’s policy to further entrench its belief of workplace diversity.
She noted that the era of some jobs being the exclusive preserve of men is gone, especially as women have proven they have same competence to function in a similar capacity as their male counterparts when given the opportunity.
Speaking further, Adasolum advised that organisations need to take deliberate steps towards upturning the difficulties female engineers face in securing jobs that they are eminently qualified for.
