Comments

For non UK readers Fit = "hot"

It might not be immediately clear but the article is talking about Civil Engineering which is a little unreconstructed when compared to IT.

And to progress to Chartered status for civil engineers you must have experience working on site bossing the navvies around.

When I worked for Dar Al Hadnasha (one of the big civil consultacies) we had to send out female engineers to Italy on an exchange as in the middle east it woudl have been impossible for a woman to go on site.
