Providing high-quality, full-service HVAC, building automation and retrofit services, EMCOR Services Mesa Energy has long relied on talented team members. That talent has increasingly included women over the firm’s 43 years and EMCOR Services Mesa Energy today is a leader in hiring, supporting and promoting women. Women hold key positions in the company all the way up to Claire Maugham’s role as CFO.
“EMCOR Services Mesa Energy welcomes women looking to build careers,” confirms Gretchen Carrere, operations manager. “Typically, the construction industry is male-dominant, but here we have so many different departments within that women can pursue careers. We are always adding talented female team members, from field positions, project managers and administration to upper management — all great career opportunities. I have the pleasure of welcoming new talent to our Sacramento branch and get to see these amazing women grow within their careers.”
The opportunity for growth is readily available, from in-person training, online resources and guidance from leaders. Trainings are provided continuously throughout the year, depending on the area of expertise.
“At Mesa Energy Systems, the culture and collaboration we create for our team is exceptional. Mesa Energy Systems has a way of encouraging and empowering their employees to grow and learn outside of our comfort zones.”— Gretchen Carrere, Operations Manager
“EMCOR provides online learning tools and a library of data to help enhance any team member’s career,” notes Carrere. “Anyone looking for more training on a particular subject to enhance a career can ask for our assistance at any time.”
EMCOR also offers tuition reimbursement to those who qualify. Any team member wanting to finish a previously launched college journey or looking to enhance a career with a master’s degree will find tuition reimbursement a highly valuable benefit. Such opportunities, along with the overall company culture, help EMCOR Services Mesa Energy not only add talent, but develop and retain that talent as well.
Always looking to the future and the greater good in this industry, EMCOR Services Mesa Energy encourages team members to take board and committee positions in the industry and in their communities’ charitable organizations. Women with the firm hold memberships and positions with the National Association of Women in Construction, CREW, Women in Healthcare and nonprofit charities such as Single Mom Strong.
Carrere concludes, “At Mesa Energy Systems, the culture and collaboration we create for our team is exceptional. Mesa Energy Systems has a way of encouraging and empowering their employees to grow and learn outside of our comfort zones.”
