Diversity and Inclusion

At EQT, we recognize that the diversity of our workforce is one of our greatest assets, and an integral part of the company’s success. We employ, assign and promote employees based solely on their qualifications, abilities, and potential, and our business strategy begins with an obligation to ensure that our leadership team has the competencies needed to effectively lead and inspire such a diverse workforce.

The company provides equal opportunity in all employment related activities and seeks qualified minorities, women, disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam Era and Gulf Wars, disabled persons and GLBT persons.

We apply the concepts of equal opportunity and affirmative action to every aspect of employment: training, advancement, transfer, compensation, benefits, lay-off, call-back, release, and discharge. We are continually striving to improve our ability to recruit and develop qualified, diverse candidates. For details about current job openings, visit the Career Opportunities webpage.

EQT was recently ranked number one by the Pittsburgh Business Times for Diversity in the Boardroom and in the top five by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for women in leadership positions.

We are continually striving to improve our ability to recruit and develop qualified, diverse candidates. EQT actively supports diversity events throughout our service territory.

Here are just a few of the organizations that we are proud to support:

  • NAACP
  • Urban League
  • 3 Rivers Youth
  • FAME
  • NEED
  • ATHENA Awards

EQT also recognizes the value of diversity in our supplier relationships. We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE) to our company and we are committed to creating and maintaining a diverse supplier base by seeking out and using the commodities and services they provide.
