Supporting Women in Engineering

To mark International Women in Engineering Day 2025, Federica, Susana and Francesca from our London office attended some events hosted by TfL’s Women’s Engineering Committee and Ground & Water both focusing on a vital challenge: not just attracting women into engineering, but creating an environment where they can thrive long-term.

A key issue raised was the significant drop in the number of women who remain in the profession between the ages of 35 and 40. It’s a reminder that true progress means supporting women throughout their careers, not just at the start!

From the conversations, one thing was clear: confidence, empathy, and community are essential to building strong, inclusive teams. Everyone’s path is different, and by opening doors for one another, we help shape a more resilient and diverse future for engineering.

Here’s to the women leading the way, and to those helping clear the path beside them.
