Testimonials

Ania Anthony, Materials Engineer

• The Ministry provides many opportunities for a range of career paths, recognizing the importance of diversity in today's modern society. At the Ministry, women work in a range of positions, including many traditionally male-dominated fields. Working here means interacting with many great people from various backgrounds. Knowing that your work makes a difference for the good of the province is very rewarding.
• As a Materials Engineer, I deal with a wide variety of technical issues, involving road design and construction, slope stability, pavement quality, research, and environmental stewardship. I love the fact that every day of my work is different from the previous, and I enjoy the challenging problem solving and continual learning that goes along with it.
  
• In my opinion, working in a non-traditional environment brings with it that extra satisfaction when you complete a task successfully. It is a chance to show that women have diverse skills, and I also see it as grooming the way for other women who follow.

Vanessa Lecomte, Senior Project Technician

• In my work I have such a broad range of opportunities and duties that keep me constantly learning new things all the time.
  
• There are so many different opportunities in the Ministry right now. It is exciting to think what is available to me and what I could be doing within the Ministry in the next few years.
  
• When I started working here there were not a lot of women around me to act as role models. Now that I have been in the Ministry for a few years I have noticed an increase in the women entering Highways and Infrastrucutre and have, in return, been able to act as a role model for some of these women.

Rhiannon Waldner, Traffic Officer, Highway Transport Patrol

• If you are interested in enforcement and the trucking industry, the Transport Compliance Branch may be the place for you.
  
• I perform a wide variety of duties such as on-road enforcement, investigations, safety inspections and administrative duties. I enjoy working with the public to help make our highways safer and lessen possible dangers that the public may encounter.
  
• I feel that I am a very approachable, knowledgeable and fair person when dealing with the public I encounter. I enjoy the work that I do and the people whom I work with, and the ever changing things that are taking place in the trucking industry.

Denise Cochet, Equipment Operator

• What's most exciting about this job would have to be snow plowing after a big storm and seeing the snow fly. I know the commuters should make it home tonight, and so will I.
  
• It's good to know that I can help reassure people's confidence that women are reliable and worthy in non-traditional roles. During wartime, women proved themselves overwhelmingly in the factory assembly lines to carry on where the men left off. Those women truly blazed the trail for us. I'm hoping I can blaze the trail for future generations of young women at Saskathewan Highways and Infrastructure.
