As well as the career advancement opportunities at Macmahon, Lathifah enjoys the close knit work culture. “We all socialize and interact well through supporting each other,” she said. She also expressed how much she has learnt through each of her colleagues and drawn upon their knowledge to develop her own drilling skillset.

Lathifah lives off site and travels to work every day on her motorcycle. She displays an incredibly strong work ethic – working a 4 week on, 2 week off roster. Lathifah enjoys the challenges that the job has to offer, proof that there are undoubtedly significant roles for women in what is otherwise a male dominated industry.

When she is on her R&R, Lathifah relishes in spending quality time with her family who she is very close with.
