Catch up with our International Women in Engineering Day Celebrations


This International Women in Engineering Day, our focus was on the power of Mentoring

In today’s hybrid session, we explored the value of mentoring for the retention and development of staff. Scottish Engineering’s Vice President, Bernie O’Neil and President, Aine Finlayson were joined by guest speakers, with the aim to inform and inspire us all to reach improved diversity within our businesses. Julie Wright of ScotEng provided some background detail on our successful ScotEng Mentoring Programme and then we heard first-hand how mentoring is having a meaningful impact on real women in Engineering. We welcomed Emma Cullen, Contracts Manager at Petroassist and previous ScotEng Mentor, who shared her mentoring journey with us. We also heard from Maureen Conlin, HR Manager at Petroassist, who provided us with an interesting member perspective on mentoring.
