  Episode #27

  Engineering Talent Podcast #27 | Brogan MacDonald | The Human Skills Shaping Engineering

  Jul 23, 202628 min

  Brogan MacDonald was once told that engineering was not for her. Now an award-winning structural engineer and sustainability leader, she is helping to reshape what the profession can look like. In this episode of the Engineering Talent Podcast, Brogan joins Fayon Dixon to discuss overcoming setbacks, finding the right way to learn, creating space for failure and why the future of engineering will depend as much on empathy, communication and human judgement as technical ability. She also reflects on the culture changes needed to bring more women into engineering and the importance of challenging systems rather than expecting people to simply fit into them.

  Engineering Talent Podcast #24 | Nadia Kanyike | Holding the Door Open

  Jun 25, 202639 min

  In this episode of the Engineering Talent Podcast, Fayon Dixon speaks with Nadia Kanyike, a planning engineer working across major UK nuclear infrastructure programmes, about building a career that has been anything but linear. Nadia shares how a business management degree led her into engineering, the realities of being a Black woman in nuclear, and why representation must go beyond visibility to real change inside companies. From mentoring young people and supporting STEM outreach to her ambition of building STEM opportunities in Uganda, Nadia’s story is a reminder that you do not need to come from a traditional engineering background to belong, contribute, and hold the door open for others.
