The road to full gender equality is still uphill, especially equality in the engineering world, despite the growing competence and motivation of Italian female engineers. In this context, promoting a truly inclusive corporate culture is not only an ethical duty, but a concrete commitment to the evolution of the sector.
Incide has embarked on a path of structured change, culminating in 2024 with the achievement of gender equality certification according to UNI/PdR 125:2022. An achievement, renewed in June 2025, that demonstrates a willingness to overcome the inequalities still present, starting with policies on active inclusion, training, pay equity and work-life balance.
Within this framework, new female professionals joined our multidisciplinary team, bringing skills, enthusiasm and innovative visions: Beatrice Baldon, Energetic Engineer, and Camilla Tivelli, Civil and Industrial Safety Engineer.
Beatrice Baldon, Energy Engineer
Beatrice’s training and professional career developed from the very beginning at the intersection of MEP engineering, sustainability and energy efficiency, which she considers to be closely interconnected and fundamental for responsibly tackling the future of construction. Beatrice gained significant experience in the redevelopment of existing buildings, an area that requires sensitivity, adaptability and an overall vision: “When you intervene on a building that already lives and consumes, you have to understand and respect its logic before modifying it.”
In designing mechanical systems, she seeks a balance between technical efficiency, compactness and architectural integration, guided by a systemic approach capable of balancing often divergent needs. Her working method is supported by a solid mastery of BIM, which she considers not only a modelling tool, but a real design language. “A well-constructed digital model helps to communicate more clearly, to prevent errors and to increase shared awareness between the different figures involved”.
At Incide, Beatrice found the opportunity to consolidate her skills in a multidisciplinary environment, where she can grow both technically and in terms of inter-professional collaboration. Her contribution is geared towards developing increasingly integrated, sustainable and digitally evolved plant solutions
Camilla Tivelli, Civil and Industrial Safety Engineer
Camilla chose to specialise in Civil and Industrial Safety Engineering because she was attracted by the concrete possibility of making a difference in working contexts: her path led her to deal with the HSE world in different fields, from university to industry, acquiring a broad and operational vision of safety management. “It has always struck me how, in critical situations, what really makes the difference is people’s awareness and preparation” she says. Direct experience confirmed to her the centrality of a proactive approach to prevention, based on behavioural analysis and continuous training.
Among the challenges that she considers still underestimated are the trivialisation of regulations, the lack of active participation of people and the fragmentation of roles in risk management.
At Incide, she joins the HSE team with the desire to bring a vision oriented towards listening and shared responsibility, particularly on the front of risk communication and the enhancement of safety culture as a central element of design and organisational processes. The aim is therefore to see it “as an enabling resource that allows us to work better, with greater efficiency and serenity.
Welcoming new professionals means strengthening the technical and design capacity of a rapidly evolving company. With the arrival of Beatrice Baldon and Camilla Tivelli, Incide continues on its growth path, integrating advanced skills in the fields of energy efficiency, plant design and safety: a tangible sign of how the quality of projects increasingly depends on the quality of the people who make them possible.
