International Women in Engineering Day 2025
On International Women in Engineering Day, we’re celebrating the talented women across EDF who are helping to build a better, more secure energy future for Britain.
This year’s theme ‘Together We Engineer’, is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve through collaboration, inclusion and innovation. We’re shining a spotlight on some of our brilliant engineers across our business who are helping shape the future of energy, every day.
Explore their journeys and see where yours could take you.
