Recognising the work of woman who work within the state’s resource sector, the awards are run by the Tasmanian Minerals and Energy Council in conjunction with the AusIMM Women in Mining Network Tasmania.
Launched at Launceston College on Thursday, WIMnet Tasmania chair Ted Bradshaw, said the awards were a significant recognition.
“Now in their fifth year in Tasmania, the awards continue to grow and encourage more women to consider the attractive career opportunities available to them in the mining, manufacturing and resources sector,” he said.
Previous winners include Alana Phegan of Bell Bay Aluminium, who won the outstanding tradeswoman award in 2017.
