Case Study - Jamie Delgado
From 'Future Women of Industry' to Alcoa Graduate
Alcoa’s Future Women of Industry program inspired Jamie Delgado to pursue a career at Alcoa.
In 2009, Jamie began work at the Kwinana Refinery as an Electrical Engineer in the Graduate program. This followed her participation in our Future Women of Industry program while in high school in 2003.
Jamie said having previously lived with her family in the North-West and watching her father worked in the mining, she always knew industry was where she wanted to end up.
“I was already going down the path to mining, and did some vacation work up north, but wasn’t sure which discipline to follow. When I came to Alcoa for the Future Women of Industry Buddy Day, I found that the refinery process was really interesting, which helped me identify which discipline I wanted to pursue at university.
“So far, it’s been very interesting working here. I have come through some challenges and learned to network really fast!
“I have to liaise with different groups of people around the refinery and there are so many people to talk to who have years of experience and just know stuff off the top of their heads.
“At the moment I am working on sump level control, alongside the Electrical department and Environmental group.”
Jamie plans to gain her chartered status in Engineering through the help of the Graduate program.
“I feel fortunate to have a job in the current environment, and I think my participation in Future Women of Industry definitely opened my eyes to pursue a career with Alcoa.”
