International Women in Engineering Day

Today is International Women in Engineering Day – a day founded by the Women’s Engineering Society to recognise women within the industry and allied professions. Natta is taking this opportunity to celebrate women in the construction industry and those who complete the Natta Team.

This year’s theme is ‘Engineering Heroes’ to recognise the major role engineers have played in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes delivering critical infrastructure to maintain everyday activities and emergency services.

Construction is a broad and diverse field for women to discover with a great number of opportunities available. This is why the Natta Group is continually encouraging the employment of women in the field.

In the 1980s, Natta employed one of the first female machine drivers in the UK. Lil Buckle is still working for the Natta Group and now runs our Plant Hire Department. Since then, we have recruited several female Engineers, Estimators, Quantity Surveyors, Document Controllers and Machine Drivers, as well as the many women we have at our Head Office. Natta is committed to continuing the rise of women employed with us.
