International Women in Engineering Day

23 Jun 2026

This year, on International Women in Engineering Day, we are taking the opportunity to highlight some of the women who make a significant contribution to our business.

Everyday they drive progress and help shape the future of construction. We spoke to three of our engineers about what they enjoy most about working in the industry.

‘I enjoy the collaborative aspect of the role. Bringing ideas, people and systems together to reach a shared design goal is incredibly fulfilling. Seeing the work come together successfully on site is a great reminder of how powerful and effective coordination and communication can be.’ Lauren Walsh

‘I love being in the thick of it. Working on site is fast paced and unpredictable. It’s a great way of learning how to manage obstacles and coordinate teams to keep the project moving. It is satisfying seeing a project come together from design to the finished product.’ Anne Marie Kelly

‘I enjoy the problem-solving side of engineering and the satisfaction that comes from finding the right solution. Seeing a design develop from an initial concept into a finished project is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.’ Jennifer Mitchell
