International Women in Engineering Day. celebrates the work that women around the world are doing to support lives and livelihoods in engineering. Equipment repair and supply company, Rotamec<\/a><\/strong>, is one of the engineering organisations recognising and encouraging the role that women play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promoted by The Women\u2019s Engineering Society, which champions the role of women alongside men in engineering, The International Women in Engineering Day 2022 is the opportunity to recognise the role that women play. Supported by organisations from The Royal Academy of Engineering to McLaren Racing, Rotamec is also invested. Equality of opportunity and its female workforce together play a key role delivering the company\u2019s 24\/7 service in the repair and supply of motors, gearboxes, and industrial equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe International Women in Engineering Day is a celebration of the contribution of women, but for companies like Rotamec, it represents the values of equality that support opportunities for women across engineering,\u201d says Harriot Cullen, Marketing Manager, Rotamec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its inception in 2000, Rotamec has been a supporter of women in roles across the company, and today includes an increasing number of female employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFully committed to diversity, Rotamec is actively encouraging women to work in engineering roles, as well as business operations, alongside men,\u201d says Louisa Tuck, Human Resources at Rotamec. \u201cThis starts with engagement with schools and colleges, for example we\u2019re about to recruit a female apprentice in a hands-on engineering role in the repair of motors and associated equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message from Rotamec\u2019s leadership is to actively encourage women to follow their ambitions in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRotamec has always been ahead of its time with diversity & equality, actively encouraging & supporting females in both workshop & operational roles, right from the get-go with our renowned apprenticeship schemes.\u201d says Claire Pearson, Financial Director, Rotamec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging women in engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Claire has a leadership role on Rotamec\u2019s board of directors and her experience is a motivational example of progression.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI began my career 28 years ago in the workshop rewinding stators, progressing on to customer fronting sales alongside telesales, and in 2000 I started the journey for my passion in finance for Rotamec Ltd,\u201d explains Claire. \u201cThis practical experience has given me an excellent knowledge and understanding of engineering, assisting me to make accurate financial decisions for the company today. Rotamec has provided superb support and training in my chosen progression within the company. This thread is the ethos that runs through every department within the company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support from Rotamec includes funding for formal qualifications and training. For example, Louisa Tuck is currently studying CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development) Level 5 in People Management, and Harriot Cullen is being supported through CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) Level 6 Diploma in Professional Digital Marketing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any engineering discipline, a lot of learning and training takes place in the working environment itself. Cohesion and mutual support at Rotamec have been key to ensuring equality as well as effective teamwork, especially within a traditionally male-dominated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a really supportive and informative team,\u201d says Fiona Brooks, Site Service Coordinator, talking about Rotamec\u2019s on-site engineers. Fiona\u2019s role is to support the team by organising the repair schedule, site visits, and procurement of the vital parts the team needs to quickly carry out repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the guidance of Site Services team leaders, through to the support of the engineers, I\u2019ve been able to take on a lot of practical development in the role,\u201d says Fiona. \u201cWith such variation in industrial applications, it\u2019s an ongoing learning process. The engineering team continues to help me develop, and likewise, they also rely on my support to get to the customer on time with the right parts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineering expertise <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Rotamec, women also take on leading engineering roles, ensuring that service levels are maintained across the company\u2019s 24\/7 response. Fiona James, with over 20 years\u2019 industry experience including the MRO environment, has recently been appointed to run the company\u2019s Pontypool branch, covering industrial repair and projects across South Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy remit is to ensure that the service requirement is met, and that repairs are made on time to get the customer back up and running as quickly as possible,\u201d says Fiona, who\u2019s responsible for the branch\u2019s engineering team and workshop. \u201cMy role is indicative that Rotamec recruits people on merit. At the Pontypool branch, we hire based on suitability of the individual, and this applies across Rotamec.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wendy Davies has a workshop sales administrator and buyer role, providing support to the workshop manager and team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrior to joining Rotamec, I was a buyer within Rolls-Royce,\u201d says Wendy. \u201cThis experience was crucial in enabling me to take on the demands of my role today, supporting the customers with the equipment and parts they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workplace equality and flexible conditions <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equality at Rotamec for men as well as women also extends across flexible working conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur business is 24\/7,\u201d explains HR\u2019s Louisa Tuck. \u201cCustomers need round the clock care, but our employees also have dependents and other responsibilities. We look to provide flexible working whenever possible, and this covers all Rotamec employees.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the engineering sector continues to have a higher proportion of men, Rotamec\u2019s progressive outlook underpins the value that women bring to the company and its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere, we all treat one another as individuals, recognising the skills and experience that each person brings,\u201d says Claire Pearson. \u201cThe industry has changed much in this respect over recent years, and companies like Rotamec are spearheading the inclusion of women in engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
