WOMEN'S ENGINEERING SOCIETY

Picture

The Women's Engineering Society (www.wes.org.uk) is a professional, not-for-profit network of women engineers, scientists and technologists offering inspiration, support and professional development. We campaign to encourage women to participate and achieve as engineers, scientists and as leaders. 
 
WES is the creator of NWED – National Women in Engineering Day (www.nwed.org.uk), MentorSET – a mentoring scheme for women in STEM (www.mentorset.org.uk), and Sparxx – an initiative aimed at teenage girls to provide information and inspiration about careers in STEM (www.sparxx.org.uk).

Benita Mehra, President of the Women's Engineering Society
Picture
Having attained an engineering degree over 25 years ago, Benita Mehra has operated in the aviation, housing and health sectors with roles including design and construction of major terminal buildings, used her masters in project management to formalise her on the job skills. Realising that building projects leads to maintaining, she took on the responsibility of the  runaways at Heathrow airport and their fleet of fire tenders, all safety critical and highly important to the running of a airport.  She attained her chartership at the IET, decided to attain an MBA.  Benita then moved sectors into social housing and has now moved again into health where she is responsible for the property portfolio and its strategy.

Benita will be present on the day if you want to hear more about her story or have any questions you want to ask her.
