Lena Singh, Cabling Technician

Lena was born in London, where she lived until she moved to Ireland, aged twelve. When she was fourteen, she left school and trained as a Fibre Optic and Data Cabling Technician. With a lot of hard work and determination, Lena worked her way up the ranks to her current position as Contracts Manager for a network telecommunications company. She is responsible for sixteen employees, all of whom are men.

“When it comes to my work I am very conscientious and a bit of a perfectionist. I expect the same from my all-male team who report to me directly. I believe if you undertake a task or job, whether it be small or substantial, it should be done correctly using the correct procedures.”

Lena firmly believes that every job, whether small or substantial, should be done correctly using the correct procedures. Lena knows that this might make her sound like a hard task master, but in fact she has a great relationship, both in work and socially, with all of her team.
