“Having a diverse workforce is very important, but it only works if we’re all treated as equals.”

Rachel Marcel
Heavy Equipment Operator

 

Rachel is a member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. She works as a heavy equipment operator, so while she identifies first as an Indigenous Person, she is also a woman in what has traditionally been a male-dominated role. Needless to say, support for diversity in the workplace means a lot to Rachel.

“Having a diverse workforce is very important,” she says. “But it only works if we are all treated as equals. And that’s what I like about working up here – it’s a very nice atmosphere. We’re a team.”

Rachel describes her workplace as one in which harassment is not tolerated. “I find that no one person is treated better than another due to their race, gender or age and that is very important when it comes to building a family,” she explains. “I mean, that’s what we are up here, a family.”

Rachel has worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator at Kearl Lake for a little over two years.

Did you know? Imperial engages with 30 to 40 First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities in Alberta, British Columbia, southern Ontario and the Northwest Territories. Our operations/business activities are located within the traditional territories of one sixth of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Imperial has Indigenous employee networks at a number of our operating sites across Canada.
