We are proud to share that Beca is a ‘People First’ category finalist for the prestigious 2024-25 Consult Australia Awards for Excellence.
‘Gender@Beca’ - People First
"This award recognises firms that have implemented and delivered outstanding initiatives that benefit their people".
Our shortlisted entry is focused on our employee-led ‘Gender@Beca’ initiatives that are helping talented women build thriving careers in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
From our Gender@Beca Action Group to the Killibinbin Sponsorship Program and our Mac.Robertson’s Girl’s STEM Partnership, these initiatives are designed to create a workplace where talented women and gender-diverse individuals can build thriving careers in engineering and consulting.
All this is underpinned by our objective to reach a 40/40/20 gender balance across our business by 2030, compared to the 2024 Australian average of just 14% females employed in engineering. It also closely reflects our purpose to ‘make everyday better’, by bringing together diverse skillsets and perspectives to solve the complex problems Australia faces.
Being named a Consult Australia Awards finalist coincides with Prosple recently recognising our Australian Graduate Program as the #1 in Engineering and Consulting for 2025.
