“It’s rewarding to challenge stereotypes and develop skills in a field that’s traditionally been male-dominated,” Heidi says. “Problem-solving, adaptability, and resilience are key to the success of our facility, and I feel empowered and valued through the trust and responsibility I’ve been given.”

Heidi’s excited about the shift happening in the industry, where women are stepping into leadership roles. “It’s an exciting time to be part of that shift,” she shares.

Her advice to other women looking to join the industry is simple:

“Seek out mentors, connect with others, and don’t be afraid to dive in. Mining can be tough, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Your perspective matters, and your contributions will make a real difference.”
