With the need for Plastfix to expand and service a growing market in automotive and general plastic repairs it has to diversify its recruitment strategies and start to explore new ways to attract more females to become plastic repair technicians and progress to management as the company grows.
To tackle this objective head on, Plastfix has launched its Women 4 Plastic Repairs Program. The aim is to promote a presence of women in the automotive repair industry through mentoring, flexible working hours and policies that promote fairness and strengthen opportunities for a more diverse and female inclusive workforce.
Plastfix has recently recruited its first female plastic repair technician who has joined its service team in Queensland after successfully completing a six-week training and repair process induction with QLD Team Leader Keenen Chapman. On the back of her rapid success and quality of work Kristen Heindel has become the foundation ambassador for the company’s Women 4 Plastic Repairs Program.
Mario Dimovski CEO of Plastfix said, "We want to encourage females from various career backgrounds and skills to explore this exciting career choice. We are a professional, fresh and innovative company offering flexible working hours to suit candidates who might be looking for part time work or flexible hours and days backed by an attractive salary package and bonus scheme. We need good staff who are looking for long term employment, we have the work volumes and geographical footprint in Australia and NZ to offer flexible working hours to service our customer base.
" We are aiming to double our workforce in the next 18 months to about 90 staff and it is vital we provide opportunities for all suited candidates to achieve this goal as trade industries across all sectors suffer growing skills shortages."
