ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland has strengthened its research and development department with the appointment of Mariam Tabarik as Product Innovation Engineer within the Door Group.
Mariam began her journey with ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions in 2022 as a Research and Development Intern.
Mariam’s role is to push forward with innovation and help bring products to life. She’s involved in the technical aspects of product development, as well as managing logistics, testing, certification, and audits. She is currently working on several innovation projects that have the potential to step change the industry in a positive way.
Mariam said, “females are in the minority in the manufacturing side of engineering, and I would like to see more representation and better ways to encourage women into these kinds of roles.
“If I can be influential in this sense then it would be one of the greatest achievements of my life, as I want to see women, especially women of colour and from my part of the world, get into more male-dominated industries.
“The culture here is unique and you can work your way up, if you put in the effort, the company really recognises this and appreciates the hard work. People sometimes think that women cannot bring as much to the table, but I want to break that stereotype and prove that we are equally capable, if not more.”
