PENNY WOODWARD: Eating the elephant one bite at a time
Description
Penny Woodward is the Infrastructure Manager at Malabar Resources' Maxwell Underground mine at Muswellbrook.
She has been working in mining in the Hunter Valley for a while, from her graduate job to spending nine years at Bengalla before moving over to kickstart the CHPP at the Maxwell mine in 2022. To restart a CHPP and a mine was an opportunity Penny couldn't pass up.
Penny has been recognised for her incredible career so far by the NSW Minerals Council, receiving the Exceptional Woman in Mining Award at this year's NSW Women In Mining awards.
Jess sat down with Penny on site to chat about her career, the journey with Malabar and her advice for young women in the industry.
