Lenora Stenerson: I’m a Red Seal commercial transport mechanic.

I’ve worked in Coast Mountain Bus Company for 20 years this year.

I love my job. I love my career.

Being a mechanic, you have to be mindful.

You got to make sure the vehicle is safe.

We’re carrying the most expensive, precious cargo around, which is people.

I’m just one of the guys. Don’t treat me different because I’m a female because I can do anything they can.

It’s heavy. Make sure you’re physically capable. There’s men and women that are not capable of this job. It doesn’t have to be gender specific or anything.

Make sure that you’re capable of any job for anything anyone picks. There’s lots of opportunity. It’s just a matter of which one you take.
