Amy Dillon wins STEM Champion at the Inspiring Women in Construction and Engineering Awards.

Amy Dillon's list of accolades is forever expanding. As a Principal Engineer, she leads 'The Big Bridge' project and was named a 2023 CN New Rising Star. A Chartered Civil Engineer, Amy is also the creator of the CityZen digital game. Even whilst on maternity leave, Amy continues to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders through her dedication, passion, and impact on STEM education and engineering.

Amy is passionate about promoting STEM careers and works tirelessly to encourage more young people, especially girls, to consider the varied opportunities in construction and engineering.

The awards, which celebrated the role models and organisations empowering women in construction and engineering, were hosted by Construction News, Ground Engineering and New Civil Engineer.

Construction News editor Colin Marrs said "We had a staggering number of entries this year. Each and every one is another important chip away at the idea that construction is a man's job. By coming together with male allies at our conference and awards ceremony, we are proud to provide a hub of support and exchange."

New Civil Engineer editor Gavin Pearson commented "Our industry's lack of gender equality has held us back for too long, so there is something inspiring about an event that can bring together and celebrate the successes across industry and share the aspiration to go further and do more.

We hope that by telling the stories that deserve to be told, not only do we get to celebrate inspiring women across our industry, but perhaps in doing so, we can inspire more women to feel that construction will be a great career for them."
