RAFFAY RAO, Electrical Reliability Engineer, Wilpinjong

“It is wonderful to work at Peabody. I feel very lucky to work here. My dad has worked for 30+ years in coal mining so it was already in my blood, but now that I work in the industry, I love it even more. This is the first place I have worked where I can honestly say I love my job! My co-workers are one of my favorite parts of my job. It’s a family atmosphere and we all look out for each other, while still getting the job done.”

MORGAN HARRIS, HR Business Partner, Bear Run Mine

“I really have been enjoying working with the people from all diff erent types of walks of life, which is really fun. For a lot of families that have worked in the mines it is a generational thing, so they start with great-granddad worked in the coal mine, and grandad and dad, and now it’s come down to a lot of young women who are carrying that torch a long into coal mining. It has been a really positive experience so far. I’ve never really once felt any barriers that I had to overcome. All of the guys and girls that I’ve worked are very encouraging, to taking next steps, providing opportunities for my career."
