As World Refrigeration Day June 26th happens 3 days after International Women in Engineering Day on June 23rd we thought it would be timely to combine them both. Since women play a significant role in the Refrigeration Industry.

The refrigeration and air-conditioning sector is a broad sector that includes the installation, commissioning, maintenance, repair, servicing and decommissioning of both domestic, commercial, and industrial, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. The workforce of women employed in this sector is widely varied and diverse and includes occupations and positions such as automotive service technician, building maintenance technician, business finance officer, business owner, civil engineer, construction engineer, contractor, electrical engineer, electrician, energy engineer, engineering manager, installer, mechanic, information technology specialist, maintenance technician, manufacturer, mechanical engineer, professor, refrigeration technician, salesperson, trainer, etc... all of which, women make their careers in.
