This International Women's Day, we were proud to share a conversation between two generations of women in mining and construction.
Meet Marianne Rogers, Geovert’s Head of New Business and a trailblazing mining engineer who became the first female graduate mining engineer in New Zealand. From the depths of Australian mines to leadership roles in construction, Maz's journey is a testament to her determination.
Joined by Geovert US Project Engineer, Hannah Thomas, forging her own path in the industry, this candid conversation explores the challenges women have faced, the progress we've made, and the work still to be done in traditionally male-dominated fields.
"If someone tells me I can't do something, I want to go and do it," says Maz, capturing the spirit that has pushed women forward in so many industries over the years.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, we honour the pioneers who opened doors and the new generation continuing to transform these industries. Their stories remind us that passion for geology, engineering and construction knows no gender - and that by supporting each other and staying true to ourselves, we build not just infrastructure, but a more inclusive future.
Watch the full conversation and be inspired to break your own ground, whatever industry you're in.
Be sure to connect with Marianne and Hannah through their LinkedIn pages and let them know which topic to discuss next!
