Crossrail is seeking to boost the representation of women working in construction, particularly in engineering roles where the UK has the lowest representation of women of any European country, with just 8.5% of engineers women.

Almost a third of Crossrail Ltd jobs, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, are filled by women, compared to just 20% of job roles across the UK construction industry.

Despite being an exciting career, the UK has the lowest representation of women engineers of any European country, making up just 8.5% of the workforce.
