Female Engineer

Connexin is proud to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day 2023 by welcoming three impressive female engineers to our team. This development highlights our commitment to gender diversity, equal opportunities, and a supportive environment for women in engineering.

The new additions will bring fresh perspectives, innovation, and valuable expertise to Connexin, enriching our workforce and promoting inclusivity in the engineering industry.

Among the trio of new engineers, one talented individual brings a wealth of experience, having spent three years within telecommunications – her industry knowledge is set to make valuable contributions to Connexin’s ongoing success.

And following their successful completion of Connexin Academy’s Advanced Fibre Training Bootcamp, we are thrilled to welcome two highly promising trainee female engineers.

With these recent additions, women now comprise 9.75% of Connexin’s engineering department, a notable step toward achieving gender balance. They also account for an impressive 17.07% of the field engineering team, exemplifying our dedication to increasing the representation of women in traditionally male-dominated sectors.
