Women in Tunneling

Traditionally a male-dominated industry, tunneling is slowly beginning to attract more women as engineers, project managers, writers, and more. The number of women working in tunneling has increased in recent years, and we want to maintain the trend.

By gathering, networking, and spreading our message, we hope to bring light to the importance of women in tunneling, and find ways to encourage more women to get involved in this exciting field.

Upcoming Events

From Virtual Coffee Breaks, In-Person Happy Hours, Tunnel Tours, Other Networking Events, WITs are here for you!

A virtual safe space to talk about the issues women face in the tunneling industry, and how to overcome them.
Meet and socialize with WITs in your area. Bond over drinks and snack as you share experiences. 
Whether it’s mentorship, friendship or just having someone who understands you.
