Gender by occupation

There is a strong gender bias across the energy and utilities sector, with high concentrations of female workers in administrative and secretarial, sales and customer service roles.  Across the sector as a whole, only one in five managerial employees are female, compared with one in three across the UK economy.

Level 3 occupations, which are technical in nature, seem to employ very few females, as do low-skilled, craft and elementary occupations.
