Meet Marina Chambers | Inspiring Women in Engineering

1. Tell us what you do at Transport

I am a Senior Systems Assurance Engineer deployed on the Digital Systems Program within Infrastructure & Place.

2. What's your proudest moment?

My proudest moment was being a part of the successful delivery 3 projects under the More Trains, More Services Stage 1 Program as a Site Engineer. It’s rewarding seeing something you’ve been working on be successfully implemented and operated, and knowing you played a role in its delivery.

3. What advice do you have for other women thinking about a career in Engineering?

- Engineering is a field where you will always challenge yourself. Resilience is not a skill we are born with, but it’s a skill we all need. Spend time developing yourself. Your success starts with you.

- If you have a passion for engineering, drive it because it’s rewarding. At the end of every milestone, you know you have made a difference.

4. How can we transform the future of women in engineering?

We all have a part to play in transforming the future of women in engineering. Let’s recognise our successes, let’s support each other. Most importantly, if you see unacceptable behaviour call it out, even if you’re not involved.

5. Tell us something that people may not know about you?

I have a dog who is bigger than me, and is also named after Ghost from Game of Thrones. I spend my Sunday nights, meal prepping for him.
