“I am blessed to
have been part of the T. J. Snow team for many
years. I enjoy watching a project progress from an idea to design, build and to customer satisfaction for a job well done. With so many avenues of the manufacturing and metal working industry available, opportunities for motivated, forward-thinking women willing to accept challenges are endless.”
Ellen Dougherty Strategic Account Specialist
Okay Industries New Britain, CT
“Working in administrative support in
manufacturing for most of my life, and still enjoying this career path, supporting customers and all company departments makes it both diverse and challenging work. It’s exciting to be able to continue to learn as technology progresses and witness what we can produce today as compared to the late ’70s. Women surely play an important role in manufacturing.”
Meredith Hackathorn Purchasing Director C.E. Smith Co. Greensboro, NC
“Working in manufacturing has been challenging and rewarding in so
many ways. I am constantly improving and learning new things. I get to be creative and solve problems on a daily basis. Manufacturing is so diverse, from the industries we serve to the roles within a company, and the opportunities are endless. There is something for everyone in this career.”
