STEM Red Penguin Heather Wells Marketing and Communications Officer Heather leveraged her experience in logistics and a degree in BSc Tourism Management (Hons) and entered the relatively unheard-of industry of Subsea Cable Engineering. These industries are made up of Telecommunications (building the internet, these cables allow streaming and social media), Power (connecting countries to share green energy) and Offshore Renewables (cables connecting offshore wind farms to land). Heather plays a critical role in shaping the company’s strategy by analysing competitors; tracking market trends; constructing and managing the marketing budget; organising, attending, and speaking at global conferences; and networking with new and potential clients. These clients include various well known social media companies, search engine companies, and global buying platforms and government bodies.

Heather particularly enjoys building brand awareness for not only Red Penguin but the industry itself, working towards bringing young people and women into this exciting niche engineering sector.

Eleanor Skinner Bid Assistant In September 2020, Ellie joined Red Penguin for a placement year between her second and final year of her studies at the University of Portsmouth.

During this time, she gained experience in all aspects of the company including operations, projects, commercial, marketing, HR, QHSE, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). By the end of her placement Ellie was managing office based global projects which included report writing, client engagement, and project delivery.

Having graduated with a 1st BSc (Hons) in Marine Biology she rejoined Red Penguin as a Bid Assistant. Within this role Ellie is responsible for identifying and winning new business, including all associated support tasks. These tasks include but are not limited to tracking commercial enquiries, updating the CRM and various trackers, facilitating, and contributing to the bid/no bid process as well as assisting in commercial and contractual assessments. Ellie also assists in the preparation and submission of tenders and is gaining experience writing bids across multiple sectors including power interconnectors, fibre optic cables and offshore wind farm export cables.

Having entered the industry almost by accident, she was pleased to speak at an ESCA Plenary about her experience as a young woman in the Subsea Cable Industry and how she is excited to continue her journey and development in the future.

Caring Professions Maria Darcy Midwife I qualified as a midwife in 2016 from the University of Surrey. My midwifery training and preceptorship was based at Ashford and St Peter’s Hospital where I developed a particular interest in caring for people with higher risk pregnancies and complex medical background. To further my skills within this area I moved my career to London in Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea hospital. I commenced work in the triage and MDAU unit, then rotated to labour ward and was successfully appointed into the specialised Obstetric HDU team. Here we cared for patients that were medically complex, with significant pre-existing health conditions and multi-morbidities. During the pandemic I moved to Princess Anne Hospital to be closer to family. I worked predominately on labour and in HDU and became a member of practice education team in August 2022. I am now the Lead Practice Education Midwife, leading a team of Midwives who educate and train obstetric and midwifery staff.
