At Tadek, we believe diversity fuels innovation and today, on International Women in Engineering Day, we proudly celebrate the talented women shaping the future of ocean engineering.
From advanced hydrodynamics to structural modelling and performance optimisation, women at Tadek are pushing boundaries and driving meaningful progress in the marine industry every day.
We’re proud to spotlight Dr. Daniela Benites, Senior Naval Architect, whose deep technical expertise and dedication to robust design solutions have been instrumental in advancing our naval engineering capabilities. Daniela’s ability to balance the challenges of engineering and motherhood is a powerful testament to resilience, determination and excellence.
We also recognise Lauren Chisholm, Junior Project Engineer, whose curiosity, initiative, and growth mindset represent the future of our field and the inclusive environment we are committed to building.
But our commitment goes beyond celebrating those already established in their careers. At Tadek Ocean Engineering, we actively support early-career talent through internships and mentorship, helping to shape the next generation of women in engineering.
To all the women engineers making waves—within our team and across the industry – we see you, we support you, and we thank you.

“Don’t second-guess yourself. If engineering sparks your interest, go for it. Push as far as you want – you’re likely more capable than you give yourself credit for. But mostly, enjoy the path you have chosen. And if it’s not right, don’t be afraid to change it and continue from there.”
