Women in Engineering

At Allianz we are committed to fostering a more diverse and inclusive workforce.

We believe in equality and are committed to building a fair environment where people can succeed regardless of gender or gender identity, age, ethnicity, physical or mental ability, religion, sexual orientation, cultural or social background.

We offer equal opportunities for all our employees:

We are committed to ensuring that gender is not a barrier to career opportunities and advancement
We have partnered with the Women in Engineering Society as a commitment to bringing more female-identifying people to the sector.

"In the engineering sector, only 16.5% of all engineers are women in the UK, there is a shortage of female talent and an abundance of roles that need to be filled by professionals."

"We must begin thinking outside of the box, in terms of how we encourage women to take up a career in engineering to create gender equality across the industry."

Our Stories

Jane Nash, Safety & Quality Manager

I have always worked in large corporations and Allianz ticked all the boxes for me; a well-respected company, highly competent people and a new challenge.

I developed my knowledge and experience, became a qualified professional in the area of Quality and Health & Safety and was called upon to use those transferable skills in a multinational conglomerate that covered lighting, diagnostic imaging, aviation, renewable energy and power.

Amy Eagleton, Allianz Engineering

When I first joined the Allianz Engineering Department at a mere 20 years old, as a temp back in November 2018, I didn’t envisage still being here nearly four years later.

Not only have I have gained a huge amount of confidence and knowledge since starting my role, but I feel very lucky to work with such a diverse range of very experienced and skilled individuals.

What I love about my job is that the work within Engineering is ever changing, meaning that no two days are ever the same.

There are also some great opportunities for development, and I don’t think I will ever look back, or get bored of the Engineering Department.

Donna Tilston, Senior Inspection Underwriter

So in 1987 I started with the business on a 3 month temporary basis, to think that I would be with the Business 35 years never entered my head. Such an exciting place to work with no 2 days the same. Allianz supported me fully throughout my career journey and still continues to do so providing so many opportunities along the way. My roles have included Underwriter to seconded Team Leader to Senior Underwriter to Team Leader back to Underwriter and then more recently my role as a Senior Inspection Underwriter.

I have been able to set up teams, onboard staff through the interview process, lead teams and projects. Including setting up 2 teams in TVM and being able to visit and provide face to face to provide training has been an amazing experience. Allianz provides so many opportunities to develop yourself, which in turn benefits the Business. It’s all about change, inclusivity and providing a great place to work.
