Encouraging engineering careers for women

Encouraging engineering careers for women

23 Jun 2025

On International Women in Engineering Day, we’re celebrating the impact that women in engineering make every day.

This year’s theme, Together We Engineer, aims to raise awareness of the contributions of women in engineering and encourage more young women to pursue careers in STEM.

⚙️19% of UK workforce works in engineering and tech
👩‍💻Less than 16% engineers in the UK are women
👩‍🎓20% engineering students are women

Space Engineering Services’ Recruitment Coordinator, Samantha Weaving, is the first contact for all new recruits and responsible for delivering a fantastic candidate and employee experience.

“It’s well documented that a diverse workforce leads to better innovation, stronger teams and problem-solving and yet women are still under-represented in the industry. At Space, we’d welcome a sea change and would love to hear from more women considering careers in engineering.

We often advertise roles for engineers with a broad spectrum of skills and run an exciting scheme for apprentice engineers. Working at Space, I get to hear about the great things our teams are doing every day. It’s one of the best parts of the job.”
