As part of International Women’s Day 2022, we have the pleasure of introducing our Senior Engineer, Natalie, whom joined our team last October.

We were thrilled to welcome Senior Engineer, Natalie Liggett, who is a valued member of our Electrical Mechanical Services (EMS) team, predominantly based in and around the Plymouth service centre area.

Natalie has already made valuable contributions to projects such as the refit and maintenance of the Type 23 Frigate, HMS Iron Duke.

With more than 13 years of engineering experience, Natalie commented on her new role,

“I am excited to be working with Rotec Hydraulics; bringing new skills to the team as well as learning a different side of engineering. I have gained a lot of experience over the years and this challenge will certainly put my knowledge to the test.”

Despite engineering being a desirable and prestigious occupation, throughout the UK women are still a minority within the sector. Over the last 20 years, critical industries like Utilities, Marine and Aerospace have worked hard to attract more women into STEM roles. However, data from the Labour Force Survey Q3 2020, shows less than 15% of those working in engineering are female. Rotec Hydraulics Ltd is proud to employ a number of females and are delighted to have Natalie on the team.
