Luton bus operator’s video star highlights opportunities for women in engineering

Today (23 June) is International Women in Engineering Day, which promotes the amazing work that women do engineers across the globe.

In March, Trainee Engineer, Maria Gorgan, was a star of a video produced to celebrate the essential work done in keeping our local buses running. Speaking ahead of International Women in Engineering Day, she said: “Engineering is a wonderful career for a women to get into. At Stagecoach East, I have the chance to mix work at college with practical experience on the job. I get to properly understand the world of bus mechanics and design, and to build my knowledge.

“So, if you are someone who wants to learn more and is prepared to work hard, then I would absolutely say that Engineering at Stagecoach East is a great way to go. You will find a very supportive environment, where people are prepared to rely on you to keep the buses on the road for our customers.”

Darren Roe, Managing Director of Stagecoach East, and himself a former Trainee Engineer, added: “Maria is a wonderful example of the essential role that women play in today’s bus industry, making sure that our local buses can get our loyal customers where they want to go, with the right quality of service that they deserve.
