Women in Engineering Day: TECO recognizes women powering its operations

In honor of International Women in Engineering Day Monday, TECO is honoring women who power its innovation.

While women are underrepresented in engineering, TECO’s recognizing three.

Kaylene Pelsh is a Principal Engineer in the Substation Engineering department, specializing in civil engineering.

Julie Chilson is a senior engineer in the Renewables department and a mechanical engineer.

Julie Ward is a community investment manager in the State and Regional Affairs department, and is a chemical engineer.

“Celebrating the voices and accomplishments of women in this field not only highlights their vital work, but also helps pave the way for others,” TECO said.
