Did you know that only 1 in 7 Engineers in New Zealand are women?

The industry is changing, and you're the reason why. Women are entering engineering fields in greater numbers every year, and the ones that are already here are leading, building, and innovating in ways this sector has never seen before.

Today on International Women in Engineering Day, we want to recognize and celebrate the incredible women across New Zealand's engineering, manufacturing, and technology sector.

At SouthMACH & EMEX, we get to see firsthand the talent, skill, and drive that women bring to this space. Those 1 in 7 are showing up, setting the standard, and shifting what this industry looks like for the next generation of engineers!

Here's to you! 🥂
