"Who Wouldn’t Like Working with Explosives and Heavy Equipment?"
IME had the opportunity to catch up with R.A. McClure, Inc.’s Tamara Whitaker. April will mark ten years since Tamara has been with R.A. McClure Inc.
Before joining R.A. McClure, Tamara spent nearly eight years working for another Orica in a variety of positions across the West. Through those experiences, Tamara says women interested in a career in commercial explosives should take the opportunity to learn from their co-workers, but never take themselves too seriously.
While this week marks the end of Women’s History Month, we don’t believe it should end our spotlight on the diversity of the commercial explosives industry’s workforce, what our companies are doing to support their workforce, or how they’re working to recruit and retain talent. If there is something you are doing and would like to highlight, please let us know. We’d love to share your story!
