Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Women in Safety podcast. In this first part of our 5-part mini series, “Mentor in the Moment”, sponsored by Heather Burzacott from Suremploy, Alanna had a fruitful conversation with Suzanne Shipp—General Manager for Operations and Maintenance at APA Group—as she shares her leadership journey and strategies for integrating safety into the foundation of her work.
From her early days in the army to her current role leading operations at a major energy company, Suzanne discusses the evolution of safety practices, the significance of mentoring in male-dominated industries, and the importance of empowering frontline leaders.
Suzanne reflects on overcoming self-doubt, the dynamics of building a safety-conscious culture, and the importance of prioritising actions that contribute to a mindful and accident-free workplace.
Listen in for a deep dive into Suzanne's diverse career path, her operational insights, and her invaluable advice for women carving out their path in the fields of operations and safety.
