Would you like to play a part in solving some of the most serious issues facing the modern world, such as climate change, energy sustainability and population growth?

Across all industries engineers are driving technological advances to improve the way the world works. Engineers are helping to reduce the strain on global resources by developing sustainable and renewable energy and devising new ways to reduce emissions, such as carbon capture and storage, in an effort to combat climate change.

Engineers are needed across virtually all the industries, including transport, construction, energy and utilities, so there?s no shortage of jobs and you can decide on the industry that most interests you. A recent survey showed that all these sectors expect graduate recruitment to increase over the next few years with companies such as Babcock.

If you have a degree in a non-engineering subject but would like to pursue a career in the sector, there are opportunities available in finance, IT, HR, sales, marketing and many more.

Engineers tend to work in a variety of environments and will often spend time moving between the office and workshop, construction site or factory floor depending on the type of engineering. Some areas of engineering require employees to work away from home on international projects and overtime is common in the run up to deadlines.
