Today is International Women in Engineering Day 👷‍♀️

At the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) we’re proud to celebrate the brilliant women shaping the highways and transport sector - driving innovation, improving infrastructure and making a real impact.

Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in engineering. In the UK, just 16.5% of engineers are women, and within the IHE, women make up around 14% of our membership. We’re committed to improving that - through greater support, more opportunities and stronger recognition of the vital role women play in our industry.

This year’s theme, , is a powerful reminder of why inclusivity matters - diverse perspectives make engineering stronger.

We’re also delighted to spotlight Rebecca Bollen, IHE Junior Vice President, who has recently achieved Chartered status - an inspiring milestone.

Let’s keep pushing for progress.
