We are a not-for-profit organisation committed to increasing the diversity and numbers of young people entering engineering and technology to meet the future workforce needs, as well as promoting roles that help us work towards net zero and drive environmental sustainability.

Joining the team at an exciting time for education and skills policy, you will report to the Head of Policy and Public Affairs and work closely with colleagues across EngineeringUK and with our partners. You will be instrumental in the delivery of our policy and public affairs programme and lead on key elements and policy projects.

Likely to have 3-5 years’ experience, you’ll be able to work independently and prioritise in response to competing demand, as well as working collaboratively with others. You’ll take the lead on developing organisational policy positions, producing reports and responses to government consultations as well as engagement with stakeholders, internally and externally. You will also work closely with the Public Affairs Advisor and other colleagues to communicate these messages to government and government departments.

About EngineeringUK

Our purpose is to drive change so more young people choose engineering and technology careers.

Our vision is that the UK has the workforce needed for engineering and technology to thrive, to improve sustainability and to achieve net zero.

Our mission is to enable more young people from all backgrounds to be informed, inspired and progress into engineering and technology.

In the UK, we don’t have enough engineers and demand is going up. So, we need more young people to realise there could be a future for them in engineering and technology. To really thrive, we need a stronger, more diverse and representative workforce and for that we have to do things differently to make engineering more appealing.

We are a not-for-profit working with hundreds of organisations across business, education, professional institutions and the third sector so we can all grow the future talent pool together. We drive that collective effort through research and evidence, leadership, activities for schools and advocacy, with a focus on long-term sustainability.
