Recruiters have been urged to help encourage more girls to enter the engineering sector by Adrian Thomas, head of resourcing at Network Rail.

Thomas told Recruiter: “We would suggest that this is an opportunity for agencies to promote the industry and encourage more young people, particularly girls, to consider a career in engineering. Agencies that send lists of ‘people available right now’ don’t get much of my time.”
