CWIEME Berlin 2026 opens in

Presentation: Unconventional Paths, Taking Risks, and the Future of Engineering

  • From degree apprenticeship to digital engineer, and moving abroad to Berlin, Lequesha took the unconventional route in her career. She'll share how backing yourself, builds the confidence and skills no classroom can replicate.
  • Inside large organisations, bold ideas meet friction. We will explore how to champion emerging technologies like drone-based inspection and 3D modelling, and navigate the cultural resistance that slows adoption.
  • Looking ahead, Lequesha will unpack the technical challenges and workforce shifts redefining engineering - and why innovation is the key to attracting the next generation.
