Her work focuses on ground-breaking areas such as Hydrogen Blending, Synthetic Fuels, and managing the National Transmission System (NTS), which she describes as both exciting and dynamic. Harriet’s journey into engineering began with a love for problem-solving and a degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering from the University of Sheffield. Encouraged by female engineers she met along the way, Harriet was inspired to pursue a career where her skills and passion could thrive. She highlights the importance of continuous learning and networking, noting how these aspects make her job at National Gas deeply fulfilling. Looking ahead, Harriet sees a promising future for women in engineering but acknowledges there is still work to be done. She says “The goal is to reach a point where engineering is seen without a gender qualifier. Progress continues, but we must start with children, giving them role models in any profession, so they never question if they can do something but instead ask why wouldn’t they?” Harriet advises young women considering engineering careers to seize every opportunity. "All it takes is 30 seconds of courage to change your path," she says. "Keep learning and remember you’ve earned your place." As we celebrate #INWED24, let’s acknowledge the remarkable contributions of women engineers and inspire the next generation to enhance our world through engineering. 💪 #WomenInEngineering #EnhancedByEngineering

Yesterday, I had the privilege of giving the keynote and attending an event hosted by Women Powering Smart Energy and DLA Piper Young Women Engineers - Future leaders in renewable energy & infrastructure. The panel included recent engineering graduates and those with significant experience. The discussion highlighted the progress made in the field- 16% of engineering graduates in 2021 were female, compared to 10% in 2010. However, there is still a way to go to build the pipeline for girls to choose engineering and retain women in the workforce. The discussion also revealed the challenges women in engineering face. Some panel members shared stories of having to prove themselves because of their gender, while others recounted the lack of appropriate PPE. Despite these challenges, the panel agreed to a call to action to create a culture where women feel they belong in engineering. Each member has committed to do one small thing, such as sharing their experiences and improving the visibility and perception of the profession in their schools. Overall, it was an insightful and inspiring event, and I'm honored to have been a part of it. #WomenInEngineering #RenewableEnergy #SmartEnergy #DiversityAndInclusion
