At Simpson TWS, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women in our industry, especially those within our own team who make a lasting impact every day. This International Women’s Day, we’re highlighting the experiences and achievements of three of our talented team members.
Molly Jarvis
“I’ve been working at Simpsons TWS for almost a year as a graduate structural engineer. My role can vary between existing and new structures, as well as both commercial and residential, providing a real variation of experience within my role, which has helped me build on the skills developed throughout my academic and professional career. Since working here, I’ve found a really supportive environment at STWS, which has aided in elevating my confidence when speaking to clients, as well as with my decision-making and technical skill on projects.
One of the main projects I’ve been working on has been in Brentford, which has involved the design of a multi-storey office facility and adjoining warehouse.”
Maja Sullivan
“I have had the privilege of being part of Simpson TWS for over 10 years, starting my journey as a Document Controller and progressing into a CAD Technician, where I worked on large housing projects. Through hard work, trust, and the unwavering support from my colleagues and the leadership team, I transitioned into my current role as a Revit Technician. What I enjoy most about my role is the opportunity to work on complex structural designs, problem-solve, and collaborate with talented professionals to bring projects to life. I also enjoy learning new techniques and discovering innovative ways to solve challenges, which keeps my work both engaging and rewarding. The recognition and appreciation for hard work at Simpson TWS create a motivating and supportive environment, and I’m proud to be part of such a dedicated team. Currently, I’m working on a challenging and exciting multi-storey reinforced concrete apartment development at Bollo Lane, London, for Barratt Homes. This project is a fantastic opportunity to apply my skills and contribute to a high-profile development.”
Jo Smith
“I’ve been with STWS for just over a year now, working as an associate in the London office. In this role, I oversee a number of large-scale residential projects, as well as smaller commercial refurbishments. A project that I have found both challenging and rewarding is Stirling Place. It features several reinforced concrete blocks above a podium level, with parking and commercial spaces below. Coordinating the transfer structure with the architectural layout and services presented some difficulties, but the effort has been well worth it, especially as we now see the frame rising past the 9th floor.”
Today, we recognise and appreciate the invaluable contributions of women in engineering. Thank you to Molly, Maja, Jo, and all the women at Simpson TWS who continue to inspire and lead the way in the industry.
