In the most difficult time for the company, the women of Kamet Steel continue the steel path - they perform important production tasks, destroy any gender barriers and master new professions that until recently were considered purely male. Probably, no one has heard of a feminine form of this profession yet. And Nataliia Skorodynska, an employee of the sinter shop, was the first among the women of the enterprise to master this difficult job.Nataliia Skorodynska chose the sinter plant as her place of work on the advice of her friend Yevheniia Polishchuk. Four years have passed since the friends became colleagues – hot return dosing operators, and for two of which Nataliia has been a forewoman in her brigade. And although the team in the return cycle department is mostly female, such work cannot be called easy and simple. This is a great responsibility, first of all, for the quality of the sinter produced. Timely separation of the fine non-standard fraction from the finished sinter is on

More than 15 months of the full-scale war, which resulted in mobilisation, displacement of people to safer regions and partial migration abroad, have left Metinvest's enterprises in Kryvyi Rih with a significant shortage of workers. To partially solve this problem, the recruitment team increased the number of women hired for stereotypically male jobs.This winter, a new employee, Aliona Bezkrovna, joined the Pelletising Shop No.2 (PS-2) at Northern GOK. Out of all the jobs offered to her, she chose the most challenging one - pelletiser operator. The extensive job description, 12-hour shifts, hard physical labour and responsibility did not scare the new employee. For several months, she worked as an apprentice to an experienced machine operator, and then was allowed to work independently.Альона Безкровна "When I came to Northern GOK, I had no experience of working in such a production facility. I had previously worked in another industry. But recently, my family has felt the lack of stab
