Women in Engineering Insight Experience

• Virtual 2 day Insight Experience: 19th & 20th August 2025

During our 2 day Women in Engineering Insight Experience, you will gain first-hand insight into the engineering sector at one of the largest UK engineering employers, and all the opportunities available to you to reach your full potential.

What to expect

• Inspiring talks from influential female colleagues
• An insight into life at BAE Systems
• Personal and professional development sessions
• Career pathways for female engineering students

You will also learn more about how BAE Systems is driving its sustainability and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda, and developing your employability skills.

Why attend?

You will have the chance to network with other women in engineering from different areas of our business, all at different stages in their career journeys - from graduates to senior leaders. You will hear all about the work our colleagues are doing and the difference we’re making for our clients and our communities, and hear more about the fantastic range of engineering roles available to you.

Best of all, after the Insight Experience, you could find yourself progressing on one of our undergraduate or graduate roles in the following intake!

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)

Our ambition is to be recognised as the leading employer in the defence and security sectors for valuing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our gender equity ambitions are to:

• Ensure that women make up at least 50% of our Executive Committee by 2030.
• Aim to have a UK workforce of more than 30% women by 2030. This includes more women in senior grades and in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths roles.

We’re continuing to work hard to improve our gender balance and remain steadfast in our commitment to redress this by attracting and retaining women throughout all levels of the Company. That’s why we’re taking action to tackle the issue with initiatives to encourage women into entry-level positions and support them through their careers.

BAE Systems was one of the 50 founding signatories of the ‘Women in Aviation and Aerospace Charter’ and the ‘Women in Defence Charter’. The Charters commit the UK’s aerospace and defence sectors to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry for women. We have also signed the charter for ‘Women in Maritime’ which similarly pledges to increase the number of women in the sector and create an environment for women to realise their aspirations.
