Rensource Distributed Energy Limited on Wednesday announced that it has hired a set of new female Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The new employees were the highest performers in a competency test administered by the company, from the pool of over 300 applications received.
This engagement of the engineers was preceded by a rigorous recruitment process which saw them writing aptitude test, undergoing group interviews and one-on-one interviews with the recruiting manager.
The Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Anu Adasolum, while formally welcoming them to Rensource Energy noted that the decision of the company to specifically target female engineers in its latest recruitment exercise was part of the company’s policy to further entrench its belief of workplace diversity.
She noted that the era of some jobs being the exclusive preserve of men is gone, especially as women have proven they have same competence to function in similar capacity as their male counterparts when given the opportunity.
Speaking further, Mrs. Adasolum advised that organisations need to take deliberate steps towards upturning the difficulties female engineers face in securing jobs that they are eminently qualified for.
“Rensource is committed to deepening the knowledge and growth of solar energy in Nigeria as these newly recruited female engineers will undergo rigorous training that covers all aspects of Rensource business and give them a better understanding of how the business operates, its model, their roles and company’s expectation from them.”
One of the new female engineers, Yeside Dipo-Salami, while speaking on her decision to join the company said: “I am excited at the new challenges this new role offers and I’m motivated to doing and giving my best.”
She further added that it is also an opportunity to learn something and tackle new problems as Rensource is a solution-driven company.
