We are proud to introduce our latest video and blog campaign as we celebrate the sixth year of International Women in Engineering Day on 23 June.
Why not take the opportunity to read their blogs and view their videos below:
Charlotte Hitchens – Graduate Structures Engineer
“It is the ability to trust your own judgement that makes a good engineer, although this can be hard in a society that can sometimes tell young women to doubt themselves”
Georgia Lilley – Structures Design Engineer Apprentice
“I find being a woman in this industry can be advantageous due to initiatives like INWED providing an opportunity for individuals to promote their abilities and achievements”
Joanna Ward – Principal Transport Planner
“I think it’s really important to keep raising the profile of women in engineering otherwise we are in danger of alienating half the population”
Lara Knapman – Senior Associate Director
“Gender diversity and equality in the workplace are very important to me and I think INWED is a fantastic initiative which really draws attention to how amazing our careers are”
Magdalena Figan – Principal Public Health Engineer
“World-wide initiatives like International Women in Engineering Day are great because they allow younger women to start taking notice and realise they can be engineers too”
Ros Boalch – Associate Director
“It’s not just about encouraging women to be engineers, it’s about realising that a diversity of views, experience and expertise often gives the best results”
