VIEWS | Breaking ground and barriers: Women in ground engineering and imposter syndrome Women are making significant strides in reshaping the ground engineering sector by challenging longstanding stereotypes at all levels. However, the journey is not without its challenges, writes Terra Firma Group’s Paula Grgich. #views #opinions #women #groundengineering #impostersyndrome

Breaking the Mould: The Importance of Women in Engineering 👷♀️ As we celebrate the achievements of women in engineering, it's essential to acknowledge the significant underrepresentation of women in this field. According to the UK's Engineering Council, in 2020, only 12.5% of the engineering workforce in the UK were female, compared to 45.2% in the overall workforce. Despite these numbers, women engineers are making a significant impact in the industry. They're driving innovation, solving complex problems, and pushing boundaries. But we need more of them. To highlight their achievements and inspire future generations, we launched our #ShesAnEngineer campaign. Join us as we share stories of trailblazing women engineers who have shattered stereotypes and overcome challenges to succeed in their careers. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their accomplishments, we hope to inspire more women to pursue careers in engineering and create a more inclusive and diverse industry.

Engineering takes innovative, analytical and problem-solving capabilities. To do this work, you’ve got to be determined, yet flexible; detail-oriented, yet big-pictured; and above all, wicked smart. That is why we’re celebrating the women behind this historically male-dominated career path – the ones showing there’s room for everyone at the table to roll up their sleeves, sharpen their pencils and help make our built environment a reality. For International Women in Engineering Day, Sunday, June 23, we celebrate them, us and all who will be; because ‘engineer’ translates to ‘doer’ – and we’ve got the ladies to prove that. #DCIEngineers #INWED25 #Engineering #DCIisMe #StructuralEngineering #StructuralEngineers #WomenInEngineering

Today, on International Women in Engineering Day, we celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of women in the field of engineering across the globe. Engineering is not just about building structures or developing technologies; it's about creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. Today, we recognize the pivotal role that women engineers play in shaping our world and driving positive change. From groundbreaking research to leading projects that tackle global challenges, women engineers bring diverse perspectives and invaluable skills to the table. They inspire future generations, break barriers, and pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative future. Let's continue to support and empower women in engineering, ensuring equal opportunities and recognition for their remarkable achievements. Together, we can create a world where every voice is heard and every idea is valued. Over the next week will we spotlight some incredible Women in Engineers from our EA network, with a particularly focus on our “Enhanced by Engineering” Theme. #EngineersAustralia #INWED #WomenInEngineering #DiversityInSTEM #EngineeringExcellence #GlobalInnovation #GenderEquality

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

In honour of #INWED24, we're shining a spotlight on incredible women in engineering! 🔦 Anabela, a product and tech executive based in Lisbon, shares with us the challenges she's faced and how she's overcome them. 💬"Many women in tech often feel isolated and face skepticism, so it’s crucial to remain authentic and not conform to limiting stereotypes.

👩🔧 We're really proud to work with businesses that employ amazing women engineers across all disciplines – from civil and structural to renewables. As we approach International Women in Engineering Day on Sunday the 23rd of June, we want to share a few stats that highlight why this day is so important. According to EngineeringUK's Women in Engineering report, "In 2010, just over 1 in 10 (10.5%) of those working in engineering roles were women. By 2021, this had risen to 16.5%". However, "In 2021, just 15.2% of those working in ‘core’ engineering roles were women, compared with 19.0% of those working in ‘related engineering’ roles". So, it's clear that the industry is heading in the right direction but that there's still work to be done. #INWED2024 #WomenInEngineering #WomenInEngineeringDay
