Promoting the achievements and highlighting the influence of female engineers is more important than ever as we look to tackle the gender imbalance across the industry. We know that a more diverse workforce brings better results for our clients. Having more female engineers listed than any other firm in a year that focuses on returners and transfers is a significant milestone for us – showing how we attract, retain and nurture talent. ” Dervilla Mitchell Dervilla Mitchell Deputy Chair

The list is produced by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) in collaboration with The Telegraph to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day on 23rd of June. The list aims to inspire the next generation of women into engineering. Currently, less than 11 per cent of engineering professionals in the UK are women. This year’s list focuses on returners and transfers; those who have succeeded in the industry after taking a break or making a career switch.
