There are many positive stories in the media about women breaking the moulds of gender specific occupational stereotypes. Some of the world’s most influential leaders are women but, beyond just politics, we are seeing women pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and, in turn, making a huge impact on the evolving world in which we live. Stories about women working offshore, however, are few and far between. This is likely because there is still a very low proportion of female employees actively working in the field. Figures published last year show that a mere 3.5% of offshore workers operating on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) in 2016 were women (Oil and Gas UK, 2017), which actually represents a decline from previous years.
