S2. Episode 10: Inclusive Recruitment with Mabel Garcia

This week Rachael speaks to Mabel Garcia, People, Culture and
EDI Manager for the construction division based in the UK at
Ferrovial Agroman.


Ferrovial Agroman is the construction division of Ferrovial SA, a
multinational civil engineering and services company
headquartered in Spain. The construction division is involved in
a number of high-profile infrastructure projects in the UK,
including the extension of the northern line, High Speed 2,
Crossrail and the Thames Tideway Tunnel.


Rachael and Mabel discuss how Ferrovial Agroman is overcoming one
the industry's biggest challenges: the shortage of engineering
talent. One report cited in The Engineer last year said that 45%
of all unemployed engineering graduates are from a BME
background. This is an uncomfortable fact for the industry.
Rachael and Mabel discuss the business case for diversity,
understanding the barriers to recruiting diverse talent and
inclusive recruitment best practices.
