From young engineer to good leader

Having worked in the irrigation industry for more than 21 years, Ms. Pham Thi Ngoan has risen from the position of technical officer, gradually asserting her capacity through the positions of Head of Technical Planning Department, Deputy General Director and then General Director of Da Do Irrigation Works Exploitation One Member Co., Ltd. In each position, she has left a clear mark with the spirit of innovation, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility.

Ms. Ngoan said that the irrigation industry is particularly difficult and is greatly affected by nature, but it is the difficulties that motivate her and her colleagues to constantly research, innovate, and apply science and technology to more effectively serve agricultural production and people's lives.

She presided over and participated in a series of research topics and initiatives applying modern technology, creating breakthroughs for the city's irrigation work. Notably, the city-level science and technology task "Building a model for applying automation in the operation of irrigation sluices in Hai Phong" was accepted by the Science and Technology Council and highly appreciated for its practical effectiveness.

Mr. Do Van Trai, Party Secretary, Chairman of Da Do Irrigation Works Exploitation Company Limited, said that this is the first model in Hai Phong to apply automatic technology to remotely control the operation of the irrigation system, serving the water supply for agricultural production, people's livelihood and economic development. The model helps reduce labor costs, increase the efficiency of electricity use, synchronize management and operation, and promote digital transformation in the agricultural sector.

With its practical effectiveness, Ms. Ngoan's model was allowed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (now the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment) to be replicated in 19 sluices in the Da Do irrigation system, making an important contribution to the work of preventing saltwater intrusion and protecting fresh water sources for the city.

Ms. Ngoan is also the head of the research group on the topic "Application of solar energy devices to remotely manage and operate irrigation systems" - the first model in Hai Phong to apply renewable energy in irrigation automation.

The solution helps reduce 40% of labor costs, save electricity and improve safety in operations, saving more than 210 million VND/year, and was awarded the Creative Labor Certificate in 2021 by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and third prize in the 2nd Hai Phong City Workers' and Laborers' Technical Creativity Contest 2020 - 2021.

Ms. Ngoan and the business group implemented the topic "Application of online mapping of irrigation works system using Google Maps", helping to reduce 80% of field survey time and increase operational efficiency, making a profit of more than 252 million VND/year, winning the encouragement prize of the Hai Phong City Workers' and Laborers' Technical Innovation Contest in 2021.

In her leadership position, Ms. Ngoan always cares about taking care of the lives of workers, regularly directs the organization of cultural and sports activities, the emulation movement "Good workers, creative workers", and encourages the spirit of research and technical innovation among the workers. Under her management and the leadership, Da Do Irrigation Works Exploitation Company Limited is considered one of the leading units in the city in digital transformation and application of science and technology in the management and operation of irrigation works.

Ms. Pham Thi Ngoan always fulfills her role as a wife and mother. Despite being busy with work, she always takes time to take care of and educate her children, maintaining a warm and harmonious family. Her family has been awarded the title of "Outstanding Cultural Family" for many years, and was certified by the Agricultural Trade Union as "Outstanding Family of Workers and Civil Servants" in 2023.

Her son is studying at Hanoi University of Science and Technology and has won many awards for excellent students at the city level. Her daughter is obedient and studious. Ms. Ngoan always believes that women, no matter what position they hold, need to maintain a balance between work and family. Success in society is only truly complete when behind her is a happy home.

Thanks to her outstanding contributions, she was awarded 2 Creative Labor Certificates by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, a Certificate of Merit from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and many other noble titles such as "Le Chan Award 2024", "Typical product of the Hai Phong Talented and Creative Women Festival 2023".

The first “Dynamic, Creative, and Responsible Female Union Member” Award in 2025 continues to be a worthy recognition for the persistent, creative, and humane journey of Ms. Pham Thi Ngoan, a female leader who always strives for the development of the business, the happiness of employees, and a loving home.
