SPRING 2018

Tonie Forde

Working at Megger
has been a great
experience. As a
part of the newly
formed research and
development team, I've been given
the opportunity to mould my role in
a way that brings out the best of my
personality and technical skills. My input
and opinion truly matters, not only to my
direct colleagues but to management,
as well as to the board of directors.
As the only female engineer in
the Kings Hill team, I bring a unique
perspective. My intuitive understanding
of how people work helps me to better
think of solutions that take advantage of
the strengths of each personality in the
team. I find being able to relate efficiently
not only across the company's hierarchy
but also with external partners is one of
the most important elements that I bring
to the table as a woman in engineering.

I've always had
a passion to
understand the laws
of physics enough
to modify nature
by making devices that interact with
it. In electronics, I was amazed by the
fact that writing some lines of code or
applying the right amount of voltage
could make stuff work the way I wanted
it to. Knowing what to do would allow
me to build devices that enhance
technology and help us lead easier lives.
At Megger I found an environment
that allowed me to pursue that passion.
I'm in touch with a new world of high
voltages, insulation and testers, and to
use this knowledge to modify nature is
what keeps my passion alive. My daily
work of understanding the logic of what
we do, creating new devices and learning
new technical knowledge makes me feel
a fulfilled engineer under construction.
