Number Of Women In Senior Positions On The Rise In Norway
In Norway, the number of women who are occupying senior positions in the oil and gas industry has increased significantly, when compared to a decade ago. This is a positive trend as it indicates a growing number of women who are taking on complex and challenging roles in senior positions.
Niamh Forrest said in a recent article:
“The number of women in senior positions in oil and gas roles in Norway has risen to 21%, new figures show. The estimate is up from a decade ago when the figure stood at 15% according to the study.”
Whether it is temporary engineering jobs or project manager jobs, women should demonstrate their competitive advantage by making use of their multi-tasking abilities.
Women Should Take Up Technical Roles
It is important that women be proactive in seeking out challenging projects that will show their mettle. Women need to consider taking on technical roles as they are considered to be indispensable, when compared to administrative roles. Women should deliver value to oil and gas companies by delivering a visible impact.
Steven McHaffie said in a recent article:
“If women truly want to make themselves indispensable, they need to consider taking on more technical roles within their organisations.
Women also need to be clear and intentional in their wish to be put forward for challenging projects that will develop their executive presence and lead to them delivering real and visible impact for their organisations.”
Instead of taking on supporting jobs, women should step up and take on bigger responsibilities.
The number of women who work in various industries is on the rise and will continue to grow. The same holds true for the oil and gas industry. Read this article to discover how women are faring in the oil and gas industry.
