The local working environment has changed to allow women to benefit from opportunities in engineering-related industries, says consulting engineers SRK Consulting MD Vis Reddy.
This has set in motion an important snowball effect, where these opportunities become more attractive to women as they see greater numbers of women in those jobs as role models.
He adds that these opportunities are not only in supporting roles such as accounting and administration, and there will be more opportunities because of increasing pressure from government and best-practice frameworks to make workplaces more inclusive.
