I have an education as a civil engineer and have been employed at SYSTRA since 2009, where I have worked with soil and drainage as a discipline lead on track construction projects such as Nordvestbanen and Frederikssundsbanen. Since 2019, I have been loaned out as a standard and requirement manager to the Signal Program, where my role includes ensuring that new norms and standards are implemented correctly.
I believe that diversity is very important – also in the workplace. Without diversity, we miss out on other perspectives, innovation, and ways of looking at things. And we need innovation to ensure the best solution in the projects we work on.
Lotte Larsen, Discipline Lead in the Department of Permanent Way
I have been working at SYSTRA since 1995 – mostly as a safety technical validator. Here, I have worked with changes to safety installations for Banedanmark on projects such as the renovation of Slagelse Station and the new railway between Copenhagen and Ringsted. In 2022, I was involved in a project in Belgium, where I am part of one of the design teams that are carrying out the new European Train Control System (ETCS) across Belgium over the next few years.
Diversity provides different inputs and perspectives. Women sometimes think differently than men, and therefore it is important that both genders are represented in a workplace to ensure the best output.
Malene Lökke, Safety Technical Validator in the Risk Management Department
I graduated as a civil engineer specializing in load-bearing structures in 2022 and joined SYSTRA as a consultant in the same year. I have been involved in projects such as designing noise barriers along railways and conducting general inspections of structures. Additionally, I have been selected as the sustainability ambassador of my department, where I perform baseline calculations for the CO2 impact on SYSTRA’s bridges.
Women should not be limited by their gender, and therefore not by a specific industry either. It’s so important that we recognize based on ability and performance rather than gender if we want to see more women in the workforce and thus in the engineering field.
Helay Aseem, Civil Engineer in the Department for Bridges & Structures.
As part of our ambition to better reflect the diversity of society, SYSTRA in Denmark has joined DI’s Gender Diversity Pledge strategy. The goal here is to collectively advance Danish business towards a 40/60 gender distribution by 2030.
