Brittany is the paw-fect mascot!

25 June 2024



Introducing Brittany, Gordon Power Station’s official mascot! Brittany works alongside Greg Kean, one of the station's operators. Greg graciously shared what a typical day looks like for Brittany, and it's clear she takes her role seriously.


 

Just like anyone else heading off to work, Brittany starts her day with uncontainable excitement, bouncing with joy when she sees Greg gathering his things. Her day begins with a thrilling ride in the back of Greg's Ute, one of her favourite activities.

 

Upon arriving at the power station, Brittany performs a quick patrol through the control building, scouting out pats from anyone available. She then makes her way to the office, where she settles into a cozy chair, ready to spend up to eight hours resting (if she chooses too)!

 

When she's not napping, Brittany is happily accepting pats from the crew and visitors alike. One of her important daily duties is checking the rain gauge in the yard, which involves a thorough sniff-around and a quick sprint, usually followed by a call of nature.

 

Lunchtime is another highlight for Brittany. She patiently waits by the crib room door, deploying her irresistible sad eyes to score some leftovers.

 

During team meetings, Brittany knows how to work the room, resting her head on everyone's legs, ensuring she gets her fair share of pats.

 

As the workday ends, Brittany springs to life once more, ready for another exciting ride in the Ute. She enthusiastically waits for Greg to open the door, skidding to a stop before jumping in.

 

In her downtime, Brittany enjoys walks around the Lake Pedder village, swims in the lake, and collecting sticks. Her presence at Gordon Power Station brings joy to everyone, and she’s a cherished part of the team.

Design like a girl - tackling the gender divide in engineering >

It’s hard to believe that in 2019, some professions are still regarded as ‘male’ or ‘female’ careers. We at Hydro Tasmania believe in diversity in the workplace and are working actively to increase opportunities for women to enter and remain in traditionally male-dominated professions like engineering.
