Barbie-loving Marnie McKay was told engineering was a job for ‘the boys’ but, undeterred, spent time with NASA engineering experts and discovered gender is not a barrier to success.  

Joining Atkins in 2019, and realising her passion for digital transformation, Marnie is undertaking a Digital and Technology Apprenticeship. Building a reputation for her technical adaptability, Marnie has already made a significant contribution, developing and trialling new rail procedures.   

An active STEM ambassador and mentor, Marnie has led and presented at various events, helping to change the perception of the railway and inspiring thousands of women and youngsters globally.
