Break the Mould celebrates these remarkable women, who have rewritten the rules of work in heavy industry and inspired others to follow their path.

Join us on this journey to discover the stories of the women who broke the mould at EGA and beyond.

The Heavy Lifters are a collective of extraordinary women in industry who established themselves as pioneers across their respective fields.

They come from different backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences, but they share a common vision: to break the mould and rewrite the rules of women in heavy industries.

The Heavy Lifters are not only role models for young women who aspire to pursue STEM education and careers, but also mentors and advocates for gender diversity in the workplace.
