With International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 taking place on Saturday, 8th March, we are celebrating early! As part of International Women’s Week, RSS Infrastructure is proud to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of women in our workforce and across the infrastructure and rail industries.
This year’s theme, ‘Accelerate Action’, is a powerful call to push forward with tangible progress in achieving gender equality. It’s not just about conversations—it’s about implementing real changes that create lasting impact.
Accelerating Change in Infrastructure & Rail
The infrastructure and rail sectors have traditionally been male-dominated industries. However, there is a growing recognition that diversity strengthens innovation, safety, and overall industry success. Women are playing a critical role in shaping the future of these industries, and at RSS Infrastructure, we are committed to accelerating this change.
We actively support the growth and development of women through mentorship programmes, leadership training, and career development initiatives. By creating an inclusive workplace culture, we ensure that women have equal access to opportunities and resources that empower them to thrive.
Our focus is not only on increasing female representation in the workforce but also on retaining and promoting women in leadership roles. From site engineers to safety professionals and operations managers, women are making a lasting impact across our organisation and the wider industry.
Recognising the Women Who Inspire Us
At RSS Infrastructure, we are proud of the women in our workforce who drive excellence, innovation, and leadership every day. Their contributions across key areas such as operations, project management, health & safety, and business support are instrumental to our success.
We recognise that visibility is essential in inspiring the next generation. By showcasing the achievements of women in our organisation, we aim to encourage more young women to consider careers in infrastructure and rail. Diversity is not just a target—it’s a key driver for innovation and growth in the industry.
Taking Action for the Future
The theme ‘Accelerate Action’ is more than just a slogan—it’s a commitment to continuous progress. Achieving gender equality requires ongoing effort through advocacy, allyship, and workplace culture transformation.
At RSS Infrastructure, we are taking steps to embed inclusivity in our workplace by:
- Promoting fair hiring practices to encourage more women into the industry.
- Providing mentorship and training to support career growth.
- Encouraging an open and supportive work environment where all voices are heard and valued.
These actions ensure that we are not just acknowledging the challenges but actively working to remove barriers and create opportunities for all.
A Call to Celebrate and Support Women
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to recognise, celebrate, and support the women shaping the future of infrastructure and rail. While progress is being made, there is still work to do, and we all have a role in accelerating that change.
As we mark IWD 2025, let’s continue to champion diversity, empower women, and build a more inclusive industry—where talent and dedication, regardless of gender, are recognised and rewarded.
Happy International Women’s Day!
