Balfour Beatty Design Coordinator, Antje Budge, is featured in The Daily Telegraph’s International Women’s Day supplement discussing her return to work through Balfour Beatty’s Returners Programme.
Following a nine-year career break to raise her children, Antje was keen to return to the engineering sector but had struggled to find a part-time role which would fit with her family commitments.
Balfour Beatty’s Returners Programme, in partnership with Women Returners, provided the ideal opportunity to re-enter the sector. Antje is now working as a Design Coordinator on a road improvement scheme in Merseyside.
Speaking of her experience, Antje said: “As an engineer, you don’t lose your skills. It’s only when you are back in a job that you realise you can still do it. Diversity is so important and you have to value all the things you can bring to a team.”
The Returners Programme is a core component of the company’s diversity and inclusion strategy, open to those who have been out of their career for more than two years.
