The Engineering Construction Industry Association (ECIA) is the principal trade and employer Association for the UK engineering construction industry. Our 300 members include many of the largest companies in the world that carry out engineering projects across the globe. Others are much smaller British contractors employing skilled craftspeople on sites all over the UK. Onshore, our members employ around fifty to sixty thousand personnel including plant designers, planners, project engineers and managers as well as site workpeople.
Women currently make up just 10% of the UK construction workforce. The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) aims not only to redress this balance, but also to raise the profile of those professional women already working in the industry, encouraging best practice and providing mutual support.
