What if we could remove the gender pay gap from every department, office and factory in Siemens?

We're working on it.

Historically and traditionally, women have been under-represented in the manufacturing and engineering sectors. It is imperative that we address this imbalance of women in our organisation, continue to invest in our people and devise a strategy to attract and retain women at all levels in our business. We continue to lay strong foundations to build an inclusive organisation where women are empowered to participate and contribute fully and where every voice is heard.

We recognise that the challenge of addressing the gender pay gap is a long-term challenge and we’ve been working really hard in the last 12 and 24 months to put in place solid foundations on which we will make long term change.

Carl Ennis, CEO Siemens plc and Smart Infrastructure, GB&I

Imagination can take you anywhere. Ingenuity will actually get you there.

We're in the business of bringing ingenious ideas to life, not just developing them. And when you apply that ethos to the gender pay gap, our mission is to shape the future for women in the workplace and make gender equality in Siemens a reality. Measuring our progress in gender diversity will ensure we remain focused on our objectives over the coming years, allow us to see how far we've progressed and show our commitment to creating positive change.

Inspiring women

Amar Sangha - Senior Account Manager, Siemens Smart Infrastructure

I’ve worked since the age of 16. I’ve had various positions in the energy and metering markets before joining Siemens in 2018. I originally started in sales, then realised my strengths were in account management and lead ED&I for my business unit.

Jo Harris - Head of Sales, Siemens Financial Serviced Ltd

My career started in automotive sales, so I immediately started my working life in two fairly male-dominated sectors. I moved into equipment financing with Siemens and have been here for 24 years in a range of sales roles. I love talking to customers and helping them find solutions to their needs.

Safia Patel - Graduate Engineer, Siemens Digital Industries

I’m a first-generation university student, meaning I am the first in my family to study at this level. I’ve always had a passion for maths and did well at it throughout school. I studied maths, physics, chemistry and classical civilisation at A level. When it came to applying for university subjects, I knew I wanted to do something in maths or physics. I completed a foundation year at Nottingham University in engineering and physical sciences, which really helped me appreciate where I wanted to go next.

Emily Smith - Electrical Applications Engineering Apprentice,Siemens Smart Infrastructure

I’ve been with Siemens since September 2021. At school, the subjects I enjoyed the most were maths and art. You’d think these subjects were completely opposite one another, but both are quite rule-based and creative at the same time. When I finished my GCSEs, I had a few options available to me, but I decided rather than going down the A level route to instead complete a BTEC in Mechanical Engineering.
