"Production is a purely male business" – this is a deep-rooted gender stereotype that the women of Kamet-Steel are challenging. Representatives of the "fairer" sex prove that with their determination and diligence, women at a large enterprise can deliver outstanding results, become sought-after and valuable employees and, alongside men, keep the country's economic frontline strong.Today's story is about Olha KALCHEVA, a chemical solution preparation operator in the desulphurisation shop.She joined Kamet Steel a year ago on the advice of her friend and in this short time has mastered this critical profession to perfection. Today, her responsibilities include monitoring the pumping equipment and its correct operation, which is important for the entire production process. Olha monitors the temperature of the water, controls its supply to the heat exchangers, as well as the supply of chemicalsfor the downstream coke oven gas purification process. She takes great care of the equipment, and

Finding the right person and building a strong relationship at a mature age is much more difficult than in youth, because everyone already has a certain life experience, unchanging habits and fundamental requirements. However, if feelings do flare up, they are forged into a strong couple who love, appreciate, respect and are proud of each other. That's exactly what happened to Hanna Avramenko and Oleksandr Shevchenko from Metinvest's Ingulets GOK.For two years now, the lives, actions and stories of Ukrainians have been closely intertwined with the war. During this time, people make drastic decisions, accelerate what they have started, trying to do as much as possible without waiting for a non-foreknowable future. A month after the start of the full-scale aggression, on 23 March, Oleksandr Shevchenko and Hanna Avramenko officially married. Soon Anna understood why her lover was in such a hurry. Despite having exemption from active duty and certain family circumstances that made it impo

Even in difficult times, reliable supply of the production processes is a priority for power and utilities staff of the oxygen compression shop. Kamet-Steel has completed the first stage of a major overhaul of the compressed air pipeline. Compressed air is one of the products of the basic oxygen furnace shop, which is consumed by all production subdivisions of the enterprise. For the blast furnace shop, it is necessary to ensure the technological process, in particular, the charging of blast furnaces and the operation of supporting equipment. As such, the compressed air supply must be uninterrupted and at a consistent pressure.It is the so-called "blast furnace corridor", the section of the pipeline that supplies this essential product to the sinter-making and blast furnace process, that has undergone the first stage of a major overhaul by power and utilities staff focusing on lines, which are heavily deteriorated and no longer met the requirements for reliable supply to consumers.Ove

Metinvest Polytechnic, Ukraine’s first private mining and metals university, announces the start of the 2024 admission campaign. Bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes in modern engineering and technical specialities will start in September, while courses preparing applicants for the national multidisciplinary test (NMT) will begin in March.Oleksandr POVAZHNIY, rector of Metinvest Polytechnic, said: “The start of the admission campaign at Metinvest Polytechnic opens the doors to a new stage for future leaders who will not only be the driving force behind Ukraine’s restoration, but also key architects of the modernisation of our industry. In times of war, higher engineering education takes on a new meaning for Ukraine. Students of Metinvest Polytechnic have real opportunities to gain practical experience in actual production conditions, advance in science, and build a successful career in the Ukrainian industry.”Metinvest Polytechnic is open to everyone. In addition to obtaining hig

Metallurgy, once considered the preserve of men, also has a woman's face. Zaporizhstal employs more than 2,000 female specialists, whose hard work is essential to the company's success. They are frail and strong, they break stereotypes, and they are also well versed in production and are able to operate multi-tonne machines on an equal footing with men.Nataliia KUPRIY, a crane operator in the cold rolling shop, is among them. After graduating from Zaporizhzhya Professional Metallurgical Lyceum in 2014, Nataliia Kupriy joined Zaporizhstal as a crane operator in the cold rolling shop. Back then, Nataliia says, mastering the profession of an operator seemed like a challenge. However, under the supervision of experienced mentors, she quickly acquired all the necessary skills. She recalls her first faltering steps and attempts in the profession with a smile, as today she can put newcomers to a trade.– I come to work as if I were at home - everything here is already my own, close to my hear
