To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, some of Almac’s female Project Engineers and Engineering placement students attended an event at W5 Belfast 🛠️💡

We’re proud to recognise the incredible contribution our engineers make every day in helping to advance human health 🫶

It was great to see students from local schools get involved and learn more about careers in engineering, with the opportunity to meet and be inspired by women working in the field.
