FSS – INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN ENGINEERING DAY This notable global day celebrating the role of women in Engineering is organised by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) and celebrate its 11th year this June. It’s designed to promote the amazing work that women engineers across the globe are doing. This got us thinking about our role in bringing women into our engineering business and a quick bit of research carried out by @ErinErin Barnet (thank you!) revealed results of which we are rather proud: ·        1/3 of employees are women – 11 out of 33. ·        One of our founding directors is a woman. ·        Jodie & Kay in CATS make up 50% of the technical team. ·        60% of our office team are women. ·        As a company we sponsor or support many female based organisations such as Bradford Bulls Women’s Team, Queensbury u16s/18s, and In With A Shot netball team. ·        Katharine Barnett represented Fuel Storage Solutions Limited and met the King last year, receiving the King’s Award for Enterprise. INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented, so we are confident that we really do support the cause, recruiting and promoting more women into our company than the current stats appear to show. #INWED24 #Enhancedbyengineering #fuelstoragesolutions

International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), brought to you by Women’s Engineering Society (WES) celebrates its 11th year on the 23rd of June and we are proudly sharing some of our amazing women engineers across the Group. This year’s theme is 'enhanced by engineering'. INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented, with 2021 figures indicating that in the UK only 16.5% of engineers are women. When approaching volunteers, we as a group wanted to learn as much as we can about the amazing women who work for our member companies. We recognise that the areas in which they work are typically male dominated, so we wanted to not only share their successes, but also learn from their experiences and find out if there is anything we as a group can do better to support them. We'll be sharing their stories over the next few days. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3KPKoMo #INWED24 #enhancedbyengineering #celnorgroup #womeninengineering #engineers

For International Women in Engineering Day, we asked Johanie Botha, Project Engineer at EPEC Group what the most fulfilling thing about her work as an engineer is. June 23rd marked the 11th International Women in Engineering Day #INWED. Did you know, that women make up only 13% of the engineering workforce in Australia, according to the "Women in Engineering Report, June 2022" by Engineers Australia?   Increasing the percentage of women in engineering teams brings diverse perspectives, creativity, and innovation — all crucial to driving progress and solving complex challenges.   We're striving to ensure engineering careers are an attractive choice for all and recognise this as crucial to achieving sustainable progress towards net zero. 💪🌏   #INWED2024 #WomenInEngineering #STEMCareers

IMechE are spotlighting the profound impact of women in engineering, both historically and in the present day, at our 'Celebrating and Championing Women Engineers' event on 5 March 2024! The event marks the 100th anniversary of Verena Holmes' election as the first woman member of the IMechE, celebrating her significant contributions to the profession. But not only are we unveiling the newly commissioned portrait of Verena Holmes, we're looking to host an exhibition to champion women engineers of the past, present and future, and this is where you come in! If you're a woman in engineering and interested in taking part, please email diversity@imeche.org by 5 February with the following: 1. Full Name 2. Job Title 3. High-resolution photos, ideally featuring yourself and another in an engineering-related setting (we would like two, but one high resolution photo is equally good) 4. A brief one-liner to highlight what distinguishes you from other profiles. You may choose to answer one of the following questions: ⭐ What inspired you to become an engineer? ⭐ What role have mentors played in your career and life so far? ⭐ What are you most proud of in your engineering journey? #IMechE #Diversity #WomenInEngineering #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInEngineering #GirlsInSTEM #STEM #Inclusion #Champion #Celebration #VerenaHolmes

As we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day today, let’s both acknowledge those leading the way but also the reality of our industry… As businesses strive to balance diversity and inclusion many discussions come back to the topic of participation in engineering qualifications and the entry route being skewed towards males, making this difficult. However a recent study by EngineeringUK showed that in 2023 22,000 more women were working in engineering and technology roles compared to 2022 in the under 34yrs categories 👍 Despite this improvement we now have 66,000 less women working in engineering or technology roles in the over 34yrs categories 👎 Thus the challenge for business is not only one of recruitment but making our industry more attractive to remain, flourish and develop within… I would like to take the opportunity to thank our People teams across Actemium UK, Axians UK, Omexom UK and Omexom Ireland for encouraging and championing making our business a great place to be for all and my team at VINCI Energies UK & RoI along with Steph Tranter for developing our Elevate programme, promoting debate and discussion on topics that we need to face into to make positive change whilst inviting our Perimeter Directors along to to hear and learn from the sessions also.
