Working in Engineering

Ever since the world emerged from the global recession, the demand for engineers across the full range of disciplines has continued to rise. After years of declining employment and the shelving of many previously earmarked projects, the industry has not only bounced back, it is thriving.

The trouble is that demand currently outstrips supply, with employers reporting a significant shortage in suitably qualified and experienced engineers across a wide range of industries.

So if you have the skills and experience that overseas employers are looking for, you may have your pick of not just where to work, but also how much you can command in your salary. In fact, such is the demand that engineering is considered to be one of the most lucrative careers in the international jobs market.

Those sectors with the greatest requirement for engineers both in the short term and foreseeable future, include aerospace, oil and gas, renewable energy, chemicals, construction, automotive and rail, agri-tech.

Mechanical and electrical engineers remain the most sought after engineering roles, along with civil engineers, manufacturing engineers, chemical engineers and control systems engineers.
