Engineering Jobs Board Launches Key Figure Interviews

The UKís on-line engineering jobs board, The Career Engineer has launched a news and opinion section on its website, where the views of various industry figures are being explored. The monthly interview aims to give an insight into different specialities and the state of the industry from different perspectives along with some predictions for the future. The feature begins with Lewis Mowatt, Chair of the Younger Members Board of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and an expert in ëtalking to cars that talk backí. He has some particular advice for graduates and those just launching their engineering career.

The Career Engineer, provides an on line service that links engineers with appropriate career opportunities and has promoted more than 9000 vacancies across all imaginable engineering disciplines since launching nearly 5 years ago.

Explaining the principles of The Career Engineer, MD Keith Lowe said ìWe launched this service to the bring details of vacancies and career opportunities together, into one coherent location, in fact itís an engineered solution to job searching. You can search for jobs by discipline, salary, location or any element within the job description. At the moment on line we have a multitude of opportunities, including graduate and newly qualified positions, right through to a particularly interesting position with a space operations company, so there is real diversity and genuine opportunity.î

Keithís own background is in engineering recruitment, so the Career Engineer jobs board has been created to meet the needs of recruitment consultants at the same time as maximising information and searchability for candidates.

Adding news and interviews to the site was prompted by the conversations that we have every day with some of the most talented, forward thinking and prominent people involved in engineering, education and recruitment ñ weíre a resource for the industry, so we felt that we should offer a platform for those we are serving.î

There is already a flurry of excitement among people approached for ëthe interviewí and a waiting list is rapidly building.
