Whatever your role and whatever your wardrobe, if you’re a female working in the Construction industry, we still only make up 14% of the entire workforce (with less than 1% of us working on site).
iConsult has committed to 25% of all our placements within the Geotechnical and Environmental Industry being female (in just 5 years) and this is without a doubt, going to be the most difficult challenge our team will face.
With the timeless misconception that ‘women aren’t cut out for site’ and ‘if they are, they must be tomboys ‘ we certainly have a long road ahead altering the Construction industry’s image and changing old-fashioned mindsets …
Nevertheless, in typical fashion, we aim to improve the female placement rate within our sector over the course of the next 12 months.
