INWED - International Women in Engineering Day! June 23rd 2024

14/06/2024

International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated on June 23rd of this year and brought to us by WES The Women's Engineering Society.

This is the 11th Year that WES will be promoting the women who are part of the Engineering workforce here in the UK. 2021 statistics found just 16.5% of women work in this vast sector that offers so many different avenues to all that apply!  June 23rd will recognise the incredible work that women engineers carry out across the globe and promotes the huge opportunity to join a sector that is vastly under represented by women engineers.

The drive behind INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile. As the only platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.

We are currently recruiting for a global organisation to find mechanical engineering and electrical plant and assembly professionals, Plant Technicians (PLC), around the Peterborough area and also field service positions in several locations across the UK.   We have openings for engineers with both mechanical or chemical background within the water industry - pumps, pipes, valves, filtration equipment, testing of water and taking remedial action in adding chemicals and general repair and maintenance of water filtration systems. We also have a mechanical engineering position in Birmingham to work on heavy plant and conveyor, motors and gear boxes.

Our Smart Recruitment Solutions division offers a wide range of engineering positions in and around the Somerset area

We would love to hear from women (and of course men) if you have any of the experience of the above and looking for excellent salary and benefits packages.  One of our major engineering clients offers flexible working hours to enable, for example, drop off and pick up at schools for children, hours that fit the bus times etc. so Men and Women can manage home life as well as their work life!  

Have we forgotten what the word "Engineering" means?

"The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures."

There are fantastic jobs and benefits to be gained and careers that help to drive the UK forward!
