ā”ļø This ones for the ladies out there! Women belong in the electrical field. And weāre proud to have some damn good ones. ā”ļø
Today, I was reminded that unfortunately, some people still see a woman in an electricianās uniform and assume she canāt do the job.
One of our customers turned away one of our female electricians simply because she was a woman.
What they didnāt know? She has 16 YEARS of electrical experience under her belt. She is incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, and absolutely amazing out in the field. She can troubleshoot, install, problem-solve, and get the job done just as well as anyone else on our team. šŖā”ļø
But when we talk about the amazing women at Faulkner Electric, we canāt forget the women behind the scenes, either.
Our office team is a HUGE part of what keeps this company moving. Theyāre the ones answering the phones, coordinating crews, scheduling jobs, communicating with customers, keeping projects organized, handling the paperwork, and making sure our electricians have what they need to keep the jobs moving. šš

You might not see them climbing into attics or pulling wire, but without them, those jobs wouldnāt be moving nearly as smoothly.
Every woman on our team brings something important to the tableāwhether sheās carrying a tool bag or carrying the schedule. š
At Faulkner Electric, we donāt measure our people by whether theyāre men or women. We measure them by their knowledge, experience, work ethic, professionalism, and ability to get the job done right.
And let me tell youā¦
Our women are absolutely kicking ass. š„ā”ļø
To every woman considering a career in the tradesāor any traditionally male-populated industry:
You belong here. Take up space. Learn the skills. Pick up the tools. Run the office. Lead the team. And donāt let anyone underestimate you.
Electricity doesnāt care who is holding the tools.
Skill is skill. Knowledge is knowledge. And a good electrician is a good electrician.
And a great team? That takes every person behind it. ā¤ļøā”ļø
