#WUNCareerStories – Nuclear Power – How Operational Power Stations Provide Opportunities for Women

Podcast

“Operational nuclear isn’t all about radioactive rods and scientists; there is a whole village of people that make power stations safely contribute to the UK’s energy mix.”

In this latest WUN podcast Aimee Konieczny, WUN Advocate and Commercial Director at Indigo Swan, talks to Caroline Burgess, Enablement Manager – Single Integrated Delivery Organisation at EDF Energy’s Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station, about Caroline’s varied career across renewables, oil and gas, and most recently nuclear, and the skills she has learned and can now put into practice on a nationally important infrastructure site.

Caroline talks about the variety of roles available on power stations, living and working in a rural county and how she’s learned to deal with being the lone female voice in various male-dominated industries.
