Empowering Excellence: Celebrating Women Engineers at Hinkley Point C

Today, on June 23rd, we join the world in celebrating International Women in Engineering Day (INWED). This day is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the incredible contributions of women in the engineering field, and to inspiring future generations of women to pursue careers in this dynamic and impactful profession.

What is International Women in Engineering Day?

International Women in Engineering Day, established by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) in the UK, is an international awareness campaign celebrating the work and achievements of women engineers. The day highlights the critical role women play in engineering, raises awareness about the diverse opportunities available in this field, and promotes gender diversity in engineering professions. This year’s theme, #MakeSafetySeen, underscores the importance of safety in engineering roles and the contributions of women in enhancing safety standards across industries.

Celebrating Women at Hinkley Point C

Today, we extend a special congratulations to the women engineers working at Hinkley Point C, the UK’s landmark nuclear power station project. Your dedication, expertise, and pioneering spirit are integral to the success of this monumental project. As one of the largest construction projects in Europe, Hinkley Point C is not only shaping the future of energy in the UK but also setting new standards in engineering excellence and sustainability.

Women at Hinkley Point C are involved in every aspect of the project, from design and construction to project management and safety assurance. Your contributions are paving the way for a more diverse and inclusive engineering workforce, and your achievements are an inspiration to aspiring engineers everywhere.
