<p><strong>Like all airlines, our customer has rigorous and robust processes for planning, managing and assuring the maintenance of its fleet, thus ensuring fitness for use whilst minimizing time on the ground (not generating revenue).</strong></p>
<p><strong>The sparse availability of skilled technical labour to complete maintenance tasks has been a challenge in the sector for many years and remains a genuine risk to their commercial objectives. They are therefore constantly looking at new ways to attract, retain and deploy aircraft technicians and engineers.</strong></p>

Challenge

<p><strong>Specifically, we manage a team of 25 aircraft engineers at London Heathrow providing 7 days per week coverage. We manage the station as a package of work (under clients Part 145) ensuring priority defects are cleared within the timescale</strong></p>
<p><strong>Our fixed daily charge is outcome-based and tied to the successful handover of aircraft back into service. We can respond to additional demand by increasing our engineering teams at short notice. Our gain share model is attractive to our skilled workforce because they receive higher remuneration in return for higher productivity targets/KPIs and receive fixed earnings irrespective of how much of their shift they work.</strong></p>

Solution

<p><strong>In the first 6 months, we demonstrated through a shift in accountability, that we could drive our engineering teams to not only complete all tasks in the allocated time but also identify and remedy additional defects. We have since expanded the contract to include additional aircraft and tasking.</strong></p>

Aircraft Maintenance – Airline Checks

<p>Engineering challenges plus contract variations are not uncommon for our client. Our agility is particularly valuable to help them manage such events and still deliver some of the highest customer satisfaction standards in the industry.</p>
<p>For example, when a VIP Boeing Business Jet customer wanted to add a split scimitar winglet modification as a contract variation, we were able to mobilise and deploy our engineering team to carry out the work package. The asset was already in the hangar with its structural integrity compromised due to the stage of the C Check it was at. We therefore had to work with the aircraft in situ, adjacent to other engineering teams and to contractual bound timescales including financial penalties for late delivery.</p>

<p>Our Chief Engineer worked closely with the client Project Manager onsite to define the project brief, work breakdown structure and task for our team of six specialist engineers.</p>
<p>We liaised directly with the aircraft OEM and winglet manufacturer to confirm specifications, technical drawings, and technical instructions, and acquire all parts in time to meet the tight deadline.</p>
<p>Ensuring we had access and adequate space to work on the aircraft alongside other engineering teams involved constant communication, daily stand-ups and progress meetings with the client Project Manager.</p>

<p>We allowed a nine-day window but delivered the project for client sign-off within a total of just seven days. This was achieved through the unique expertise of our high-performing and highly motivated team, and shared objectives with our client to delight their customer.</p>
<p>The aircraft was handed back to the owner on time with the additional works completed &ndash; saving thousands of pounds of cost (and immediate fuel-saving costs) if the winglets had been installed under a separate contract.</p>
<p>As an embedded, trusted partner, we have supported and helped solve multiple such challenges in our 15+ years of service.</p>

Capability Management – Naval Systems

<p>It&rsquo;s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/sectors/defence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects</a>, and being recognised with an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/carbon60-recognised-with-mod-gold-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MOD Gold Award</a>, to employing and supporting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/armed-forces-profile-bruno-wood" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">current and ex-forces members</a>, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s why for the past six years, we&rsquo;ve been delighted to sponsor the Royal Navy Football Association. And, on March 30<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;an exciting inter-service men&rsquo;s match was hosted between the Royal Navy and the Army.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not the first time the two forces have clashed on the football field. In fact, this competition has been an annual sporting tradition between the Army, RAF and Royal Navy for many years now.</p>
<p>During a long history of battling it out on the pitch, it&rsquo;s the Army who have won the most matches, and this most recent clash saw them adding yet another win to the list after beating the Navy in a 2-1 defeat last month.</p>
<p>As sponsors, we&rsquo;re always eager to follow the matches, but with the pandemic having halted the competition in 2020 and 2021, this year&rsquo;s was particularly welcome.</p>
<p>Carbon60&rsquo;s Managing Director, Paul Nolan, commented: &ldquo;Although the game didn&rsquo;t end in the results we would have liked for the Royal Navy team, it was certainly an exciting game demonstrating how far inter-services football has come during our proud period of sponsorship.&rdquo;</p>
<p>However, this isn&rsquo;t Carbon60&rsquo;s only military sports sponsorship. We&rsquo;re also keen supporters of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/valuing-values">RAF&rsquo;s Ski Team</a>. But why is Carbon60 so keen to support initiatives and events like these and why do they matter? The answer goes far beyond simply our recruitment expertise in the defence sector&hellip;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s because we share many of the same principles as our British armed forces. And, like the military, we understand the important role that sport plays in bringing people together and strengthening the key attributes that unite us all.</p>
<p>Members of our forces, and sports participants alike, need to be driven, committed and enthusiastic. And these are features we look for in our own people. Often described as a family, our employees at Carbon60 take pride in working together as a team to achieve a shared set of goals - in the same way that many of the most successful sporting teams combine differing strengths to climb to the top of their league.</p>
<p>Sporting activities are also fundamental in developing resilience and resourcefulness. And in the competitive and often challenging world of recruitment, these are important qualities for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. They&rsquo;re characteristics we encourage and celebrate across the entire Carbon60 business.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s for all of these reasons combined that we&rsquo;re dedicated to supporting the British Royal Navy Football Association - an organisation founded to promote and encourage teamwork and whose values align closely with our own.</p>
<p>This year, it&rsquo;s the RAF who were crowned overall Inter-Service Champions and we extend our congratulations to them on a great performance throughout the season. But we look forward to our ongoing sponsorship of the Royal Navy and to continuing to support them, whatever the result, next season. Keep up the great work, guys. Carbon60 wishes you lots of luck for the 2023 competition!</p>

It’s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects, and being recognised with an MOD Gold Award, to employing and supporting current and ex-forces members, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.

<p>June 2024 marked the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, a infamous day when - on 6th June 1944 - the largest amphibious invasion in history took place as part of the first stage of Operation Overlord. The statistics of D-Day and the stories of those involved are staggering. In total the Allies used a flotilla of over 5,000 ships and landing craft to deploy more than 130,000 troops onto the beaches of Northwestern France codenamed Gold, Sword, Juno, Omaha and Utah as part of the efforts to restrict and push back enemy advances across the continent.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of the D-Day commemorations, 19 keen cyclists from the Maritime C5ISR Support Unit (MCSU) embarked on an epic crossing of the English Channel, to retrace the route of those brave Servicemen and women in honour of their sacrifice. MCSU has a very specific connection of D-Day, with it&rsquo;s base at the top of Portsdown Hill featuring a glorious view over the Southern Downs and specifically of Southwick House. In 1944, in the months leading up to D-Day, the base became the headquarters of the main allied commanders, including Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower, Naval Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ramsay and Army Commander-in-Chief General Montgomery.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The MCSU peloton was made up of a wholeforce mix of military, civil service and industry personnel, which was fitting given the herculean efforts that were required both on the front line and on the home front to ensure the success of the D-Day landings, without doubt one of the biggest and most important events in World War Two. In all, the peloton covered some 270km on a journey that was not only created as a chance to mark the occasion and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, but also to allow time for the brave service personnel to connect and reset as a team.</p>
<p>Carbon60 are proud to be avid supporters of the military and its people. We congratulate Team MCSU for completing their memorable journey and, as always, thank them for their service.&nbsp;</p>

Carbon60 were proud to sponsor the Maritime C5ISR Support Unit (MCSU) as they embarked on an epic journey, to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Digital Solutions – Maritime Digital Delivery Service

<p>Engineering has shaped the world and the way we live for as long as humanity has existed.</p>
<p>From Egypt&rsquo;s Great Pyramids to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai; the Ford Model T to Bugatti&rsquo;s record-breaking Chiron hypercar; the Wright Brother&rsquo;s Wright Flyer to the imposing Airbus &lsquo;Beluga&rsquo; cargo Aircraft; and much, much more &ndash; some of the most iconic creations in history have been dreamt up, planned, and built by genius engineers. And they&rsquo;re just the headlines. Even the simplest, most seemingly insignificant things we use day-to-day will have been engineered to help make life &ndash; for the most part &ndash; better.</p>
<p>Through the centuries and decades, engineering has developed, grown, and improved at a daily, if not hourly, rate. However, as engineering advances, continuing to make breakthroughs across its variety of fields, the industry is still struggling to achieve something that has eluded it throughout history: gender parity.</p>
<p>Read on as we investigate the gender gap in engineering, the challenges the industry faces, and the actions being taken to try and create a better, more inclusive future for engineering and women in engineering.</p>
<h2>Women in Engineering: The Challenges</h2>
<p>In the UK, women continue to be underrepresented across engineering, with females only making up less than 20% of the industry&rsquo;s workforce. <a href="https://www.engineeringuk.com/research-policy/diversity-in-engineering/gender/">And that&rsquo;s despite &ndash; according to EngineeringUK &ndash; there being an upward trend in recent years.</a> What&rsquo;s more, in most cases, women are working in positions related to the core, more hands-on roles, rather than in core roles themselves.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a similar story around the world, too. In the USA for example, whilst there has been an overall increase in women in engineering in the past few decades, <a href="https://www.asce.org/publications-and-news/civil-engineering-source/civil-engineering-magazine/article/2022/05/engineering-struggles-to-achieve-gender-parity">the American Society of Civil Engineers highlight that only around 14% of engineers in America&rsquo;s workforce are women.</a> And whilst the signs of some growth does raise hopes for the future of females in engineering, the growth is slow.</p>
<p>There are a variety of reasons for there being fewer females in engineering than their male counterparts, including a perception that the industry is better suited to &ndash; and geared towards &ndash; men, and an overall lack of diversity and inclusion across the industry too, which is contributing to a lack of female interest.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.engineeringuk.com/media/318281/chapter2_secondary-education-and-engineering_summary.pdf">EngineeringUK&rsquo;s Secondary Education and Engineering briefing</a> mentions that &ldquo;far fewer girls compared to boys taking GCSE subjects such as engineering, computing and design and technology, though girls are more likely than boys to attain the highest grades in STEM subjects.&rdquo;, with males making up an overwhelming majority of entries into further engineering education and apprenticeships too.</p>
<p>Therefore, whilst there are diversity and gender parity gaps within the industry already, the biggest challenge &ndash; to pique the interest of, and educate, more females in the future &ndash; is ahead of us, to not only diversify engineering but also meet growing demand for engineers.</p>
<h2>Women in Engineering: The Actions</h2>
<p>In the face of such challenges, institutions, organisations, and companies around the world are working tirelessly to find ways to make engineering a more inclusive and diverse industry. One that&rsquo;ll not only provide women and other minority groups better opportunities for education and successful engineering careers, but also strengthen the industry further, benefitting from the skills, passion, and drive of more people than ever before.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.engineeringuk.com/research-policy/provision-outreach/rapid-evidence-reviews/">Research carried out by EngineeringUK, and published in December 2023</a>, highlights just a few ways to encourage female engagement and interest in engineering, including:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Engaging girls with engineering and technology activities at a young age</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Including activities that challenge gender stereotypes around engineering and technology</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Learning about the needs, interests, and preferences of girls when designing outreach programmes</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Understanding the limitations of gender as a binary concept</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The use of role models that are a similar age to help bridge the developmental gap between students and professionals</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Showcasing a range of engineering and technology careers</p>
<p>Such actions are being driven by organisations and initiatives such as the <a href="https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/about-us/">WISE Campaign</a>, who support companies in engineering to &ldquo;achieve gender parity and benefit from better productivity, innovation and business performance&hellip; and strengthen STEM sectors by championing diversity of thought, background and life experience thereby making STEM inclusive to all.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, events and occasions such as <a href="https://www.inwed.org.uk/about/">International Women in Engineering Day</a> &ndash; created by the Women&rsquo;s Engineering Society and celebrated every June &ndash; have raised awareness of the importance of in engineering, as well as the opportunities available to women and the engineering companies who could benefit from creating a more diverse workforce.</p>
<h2>Women in Engineering: The Opportunities</h2>
<p>Highlighting the gender gap in engineering, and the need to make the industry more diverse and inclusive, has encouraged companies across the sector to commit themselves to educating and creating opportunities in engineering for women and minority groups, to not only close the gap, but also build a better future for the industry.</p>
<p>In the UK alone, a number of engineering companies and other STEM organisations have become industry leaders as <a href="https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/ten-steps-signatories-and-endorsements/">signatories to the WISE Campaign&rsquo;s &lsquo;Ten Steps&rsquo;</a>, an initiative that commits them to educating females and building a more diverse industry through:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Making a public commitment to improve conditions for women working in science, technology, and engineering as an essential part of the campaign to attract more girls into the sector</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Supporting the Ten Steps as a framework for companies seeking to retain and develop female talent</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Working with WISE to achieve better gender balance in the STEM workforce by using the Ten Steps to help us recruit, retain and develop women within their own organisation and also encourage others in the wider industry to do so</p>
<p>As outlined in <a href="https://www.engineeringuk.com/media/318037/women-in-engineering-report-summary-engineeringuk-march-2022.pdf">EngineeringUK&rsquo;s most recent Women in Engineering research</a>, such commitments have helped to increase the opportunities for &ndash; and employment of &ndash; women in engineering, with the number of females in engineering roles increasing by almost double over a 10-year period.</p>
<p>However, there is plenty of work still to be done. And it&rsquo;s vital that the engineering industry as a whole comes together to continue the upward trend and make engineering a stronger, more diverse and progressive place to be.</p>

Females continue to be underrepresented across engineering. Join us as we look into the industry's gender gap and what is being done to close it.
