November. Some have application
deadlines before Christmas, while others
fill many of their graduate scheme places
by then, regardless of the stated closing
date.
If you want to pursue postgraduate
study, applying in the autumn term is
ideal. Popular courses fill up quickly and
for some universities you need to accept
a place before you can apply for funding.
Funding deadlines vary widely and its
financially inadvisable to miss them.

Post-degree applications
Its not necessary to have an engineering job lined up by the
time you sit finals. Many students decide to concentrate on
getting the best possible degree, then apply for jobs
afterwards. This is a viable option. You may need to take a
gap year and apply to graduate schemes that start the
following summer, though you could get lucky and find an
immediate vacancy.

Things to investigate
Look into the following aspects of
any companies youre thinking of applying to:
size
structure
culture
key projects
major technologies used
developments in that industry
recent company news
strategic plans
any recent awards received.
The more detail you can find, the more you will set
yourself apart. For example, its good to know the
companys annual turnover but lots of other applicants will
have found this out too. Make sure you spend some time
investigating the position as well: find out the degree
requirements and which skills are needed, and make sure
you fit the bill.
Be practical in your approach and stay focused. It may
help to draw up a list of questions to answer; take a look at
the box on the opposite page for guidance. You can also
download an employer research template at
targetjobsengineering.co.uk.
Do your digging
Begin by looking at the AZ of employers that starts on page
71, and use the tables and advertisements throughout the
magazine to guide you to suitable employers. Once youve
found the basic information, its time to look more in depth.
Continue your research online at targetjobsengineering.co.uk
and targetjobs.co.uk/employer-hubs, where you will find indepth analysis of employers recruitment procedures, before
moving on to companies own websites.
Seize opportunities to meet employers at careers fairs
and other careers events and, if there are any graduates
present, talk to them to get the inside view. You can also
meet engineering employers at TARGETjobs Future female
engineers event in November. For more information visit
targetjobsevents.co.uk/future-female-engineers.
Your careers service may also have an alumni network
that can put you in contact with someone who works for the
organisation. Dont forget to keep an eye on the national
newspapers and the trade press for industry developments.

Engineering your CV
and covering letter
Good CVs need a little feng shui. Give space
to your most relevant experiences.
Simple CV staples
Tailor your CV to each employer. Keep a master copy and tweak
it for each application.
Your CV should be either one full page or two full pages of
A4. Make sure it is easy to read: choose a clear font in
reasonable size, word your headings clearly and consider using
bullet points to break up the text.
The most common type of format is the reverse-chronological
CV, which focuses primarily on work history and education. If
you follow this approach, make sure the chronology is clear and
there are no major time gaps to confuse or worry employers. If
you spent a gap year working in a supermarket, include this in
your work history rather than leave recruiters wondering what
you did for 12 months.
For more help with format and content, see our template
engineering CV overleaf.
Making a statement
Many students start with a brief personal statement outlining
their abilities and aspirations. I would encourage every graduate
engineer to include a short profile in their CV, says Nims
Mepani, the graduate recruitment and programme manager at
Bechtel. Your profile should show your motivations for
applying and why you would be a good fit with the company.
Be specific and keep it relevant to the engineering job in
question. Its a waste of space to say Student with great
teamworking skills seeks challenging job. Far better to say
Final-year mechanical engineering student with particular
interest in aerodynamics seeks graduate role in the defence
industry.
Education history
For your university years, you should include your predicted or
actual degree class, information on group projects and your
dissertation, any modules relevant to the job, and relevant
academic awards. Engineering employers dont need to know
the specifics of modules that dont relate to them.
Include your A level (or equivalent) subjects and grades. Give
GCSE/standard grade results, but dont waste space listing each
one individually.

Online applications:
the formula for success
Research plus experience, structure and accuracy equals an engaging application.
A personal application
Good research is vital the best applications are focused
and tailored to the organisation you are applying to.
We look for candidates who can demonstrate real
enthusiasm for our industry, from application stage to
final assessment, says Alexandra Walton, early talent
attraction & selection manager at Laing ORourke.
Showing you are motivated by a career in construction
is one of the key things that will make you stand out.
You can use the TARGETjobs employer hubs
(targetjobs.co.uk/employer-hubs) and our engineering
employer research advice on page 12 to help you.
The questions may seem similar but there can be subtle
differences and greater importance placed on different
aspects. Take a look at each employers graduate website
to see if it provides any instructions or tips.

Keep up appearances
Click out of social network mode and switch on your
professionalism. Accuracy is important in the life of an
engineer, so recruiters want to see evidence of attention to
detail.
Write full, grammatically correct sentences its worth
buying a basic grammar book and brushing up your skills
before you start typing.
Use a capital letter for I.
Dont let text speak slip in if U want 2 get the job a

Typical competency
questions
Competency-based questions
In most interviews, questions covering Why should we
employ you? are likely to be structured around
competency-based selection criteria: the skills you need to
do the job. These are often outlined on an employers
website or in its recruitment literature. Think about
situations and experiences where you have used particular
competencies such as communication skills, teamworking,
problem solving and so on as you are likely to need to
provide examples.
If you dont feel you possess a particular skill or
attribute, discussing ways of developing it
and sounding enthusiastic about doing so is the next best
thing. Recruiters look for potential, not
the finished product.

LAUNCH YOUR CAREER
A gentle warm up
Many interviews will start off in familiar territory, asking
you about modules and projects from your degree that you
found interesting or that relate directly to the organisations
work. Its essential to do some preparation, for example
refamiliarising yourself with your first-year work. Brush up
your basic engineering knowledge, particularly subjects that
tie in with the recruiters line of business, as you may be
tested on this.
Field of expertise
Its definitely worth trying to get an insight into the
employers activities and any issues that may be of concern
to the industry. Find out what sort of work it does and
anticipate from that the sorts of basic questions you might
be asked relating to its work. For example, an employer
that constructs oil and gas facilities might ask you questions
about steel structures, so you should brush up on your
general knowledge about steel.
A two-way street
Approached in the right way, a technical interview can be a
valuable experience, allowing you to learn about employers
as well as the other way round. Most interviewers are
happy for candidates to ask questions about how the
company works and have a two-way conversation. If youre
lucky enough to receive more than one job offer, this could
help you decide which to accept. Being proactive and asking
questions also tends to make a good impression on
employers it shows that you are thinking seriously about
whether the role will suit you, and that you are not a
wallflower.
Communication is key
In many ways, technical interviews focus on how you
communicate technical ideas and information. If a sketch or
a diagram would help you to explain something, ask for a
piece of paper. Its perfectly all right to ask for further
clarification if you need it. Engineering projects rarely
present textbook problems so your future employer wants
to see how you approach problem solving. If you dont
know the answer, honesty is the best policy. There may be
times when we dont expect a candidate to know the
answer to a question, says Nims Mepani, the graduate
recruitment and programme manager at Bechtel. Dont try
and guess or make things up. Its better to own up that you
arent sure.

USING YOUR DEGREE
Generalist or specialist
In many roles you will remain a mechanical engineering
specialist, applying your skills and knowledge to those specific
aspects of your employers technical operations that call for
this skills set. However, engineering careers in some areas
involve becoming more of a generalist, drawing on or
developing knowledge of other engineering disciplines and
perhaps doing the same job as a fellow engineer with a
different degree background.
Fast moving consumer goods is one industry that often calls
for generalists.
Chris Traynor, careers adviser and former engineer and
engineering recruiter, outlines the state of play in the
industry. He explains: Almost all the graduate roles are in
one of two areas: manufacturing/engineering or supply
network operations/logistics. And for both of these areas
graduates from different disciplines would be doing similar
jobs to each other. The reason for this is that the real
work is not defined in nice separate buckets of
mechanical, electrical, chemical etc, but is normally a
mixture of different disciplines as a general manufacturing
or logistics engineer. Graduates will pick up skills from other
disciplines as they go through their training and career. I
started as a chemical engineer and quickly learned basic
mechanical and electrical engineering principles that were
needed to help me in my work.
If youd prefer to specialise, there are numerous options.
Andy Haasz, head of component engineering at RollsRoyce outlines job roles in the aerospace industry:
A graduate mechanical engineer could work on one or
more of the components required to create a Rolls-Royce
aero engine. They may be assessing the robustness of the
design, optimising the component for cost or weight, or
establishing the best manufacturing processes to use in
production. Later on in their career they might become
an engineering specialist, lead engineering programmes
and projects, such as on advanced engine designs, or they
might lead an engineering department.

Pure electrical
Most employers take on graduate electrical engineers with a
view to developing their specialist knowledge further. In
these companies, you can expect to work alongside engineers
from other disciplines, but your role will be to provide
electrical engineering expertise.
The precise nature of your work will depend upon the
industry you work in. Examples of typical responsibilities for
electrical engineers in different sectors include the following.
Eddie Orr, chief of sector for Rolls-Royces electrical
capability group, says that in the aerospace industry, a
graduate electrical engineer would be working on cutting
edge technology, introducing or enhancing power dense
electrical machines and controllers, including engine
controllers, on platforms across the Rolls-Royce business.
Later on in their career they might well be working on
technology for fully autonomous ships or on aerospace
platforms which get all their thrust from electrically driven
fans, with power coming from, for example, generators,
energy storage devices or both.
The built environment sector seeks electrical engineers for
roles in building services engineering, designing and
overseeing the installation of necessities such as power,
lighting, fire systems and security systems.
Pamela Wilson, engineering engagement manager at BAE
Systems, states that, in the defence industry, electrical
engineers optimise hardware and software design
concepts, develop sophisticated design processes and test
complex products to ensure the equipment is fit for the air,
sea or land operating environments. Activities could
include: assessment of equipment behaviour, fault
diagnosis, assessment of new technologies and
components, simulation and modelling, and data analysis.
Electrical engineers in the materials and metals sector can
be involved in the manufacturing process, ensuring the
equipment is maintained and developed.
Meanwhile at EDF Energy Generation, asset developer
Paul Clarke discusses the power generation sector. He
comments: Electrical engineers focus on maintaining the
electrical plant items (switchgear, transformers, motors,
cables, generators, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air
conditioning), UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and
lighting.
TARGETjobs Engineering 2017
35
Mixing disciplines
However, with some employers electrical engineering
graduates will develop into more generalist engineers.
They may need to pick up knowledge from other areas of
engineering and will perform similar jobs to graduates who
studied different disciplines. Industries such as fast moving
consumer goods often like graduates to work crossdiscipline.
Chris Traynor, careers adviser and former engineer
and engineering recruiter, explains the situation in the fast
moving consumer goods industry. He comments: Almost all
the graduate roles are in one of two areas: manufacturing/
engineering or supply network operations/logistics. And for
both of these areas graduates from different disciplines
would be doing similar jobs to each other. The reason for
this is that the real work is not defined in nice separate
buckets of mechanical, electrical, chemical etc, but normally
a mixture of different disciplines as a general manufacturing
or logistics engineer. Graduates will pick up skills from other
disciplines as they go through their training and career.
Related fields
If you dont want to become an engineer, an electrical
engineering degree can open plenty of other doors too. You
could work in a finance, management or logistics role within
the engineering sector, or move into a closely related field
such as IT. See I dont want to be an engineer what else
can I do? on page 65 for more details.
However, with 40% of graduate jobs open to graduates
of any discipline, theres no obligation to opt for a technical
employer. Take a look at targetjobs.co.uk if youd like to
research your options. You could put your background to
good use in careers such as science journalism, technical
publishing, teaching or tech-heavy areas of law, or explore
something entirely different.

Alternative options
If you decide you dont want to become an engineer after
you graduate, there are a number of alternatives that a
savvy degree-holder might consider. The analytical thinking
and problem solving abilities garnered from an education in
engineering are sought by a number of different employers
and electronics is a booming sector. The fields of consulting,
finance, logistics, education and even law (particularly
related to patents) will look for graduates with technical
knowledge that can be applied to a variety of situations.

Make your mark on the cityscape
The main industries or specialisms you could work in are:
Airports: Typical projects involve modifying existing
airports, including the runways and taxiways (airside
infrastructure), maintenance and cargo facilities (airside
support services) and terminal buildings.
Bridges: Engineers need a strong understanding of
structural engineering and the ability to work closely with
highways, geotechnical, railway and environmental
engineers, and a host of other experts.
Buildings: Sustainability is often a key consideration.
Civil and structural engineers work with building services
engineers and other specialists to ensure buildings are
designed with climate change in mind and to meet everevolving regulations.
Coastal and marine: Projects focus on protecting coastal
communities against rising sea levels and erosion using
sea defences both hard defences, constructed from
concrete for example, and soft defences, which involve
man-made or reconstructed beaches. Engineers may also
be involved in building and maintaining ports, offshore
wind farms and structures to harness tidal energy.
Energy and power: Engineers design and build the
infrastructure needed to create energy. Graduates could
work on projects such as the designs for an offshore wind
facility, the maintenance of an oil platform or the
decommissioning of an old nuclear power plant.
Environmental: Engineers can become environmental
consultants, a role in which they will ascertain and then
reduce the impacts of a proposed project on the
environment. They can specialise in specific areas, such as
flood risk.
Geotechnical: In this specialist area, engineers are
responsible for the foundations of structures. They assess
field data about the ground, soil, rock and boreholes and
find ways to make sure that foundations or slopes are
safe and stable. They could specialise in completing site
investigations, designing foundations or overseeing the
on-site construction work. Specialist postgraduate study
is often advantageous.
Highways: This job involves overseeing temporary works
and permanent works and finding ways to ease traffic
congestion, lessen environmental impact and improve
road safety.
Rail: Engineers use their technical knowledge to design,
build and maintain the railway systems infrastructure,
including tracks, earthworks and drainage, and telecoms
and power.
Tunnelling: This area chiefly calls on specialist structural
and geotechnical knowledge but can also involve many
elements of underground engineering rock tunnels,
shafts, caverns and stations, for example, may come
under the remit of a tunnelling engineer. Engineers also
take decisions on a projects viability in terms of safety,
location and cost, and to ensure it has a limited impact
on the environment and any buildings nearby.
Water and public health: The ultimate objective of these
projects is to provide clean drinking water and treat
wastewater. Engineers might be involved in implementing
sustainable water drainage systems, creating energyefficient treatment plants or improving infrastructure to
prevent urban flooding.
When requiring a more intelligent approach to both the built and natural environment,
you couldnt wish for a smarter sausage.

you happy to move around the country from client site to
client site, or to spend large chunks of time overseas on
longer-term project assignments? Would you prefer to stay
in one place and be part of a close-knit, office-based
team? Some engineers travel a lot within the UK (for
example to different manufacturing sites) or overseas.
Working hours depend on the sort of role you are in.
Manufacturing engineers may have to do shift work, for

The highlights
Aerospace
Engineers in this industry are driven
by the need to continually develop
cutting edge technology.
he aerospace industry is
technically complex. Engineers
work on products that push the
limits of technology. The work involves
designing components and systems and
generating CAD models and drawings;
work such as fluids analysis or thermal
analysis; manufacturing the technology;
developing and testing it; and supporting
the products in service.
Big manufacturing companies
include Airbus, Boeing and
Bombardier, who design, manufacture
and build aircraft, and Rolls-Royce,
General Electric and Pratt and
Whitney, who design, manufacture
and build engines. Safran Landing
Systems, Cobham and QinetiQ are
other big names. There is a large
network of smaller suppliers who
support the big companies.
Industry headlines
Areas receiving a lot of attention
include unmanned aerial vehicles,
supersonic aircraft, distributed
propulsion, electric aircraft, and higher
bypass ratio engine products such as
geared fans and open rotor technology.
These are all potential areas to be
pursued by the industry but their
success depends on the regulatory
framework and the economics, such as
oil prices and raw material costs,
particularly the cost of some of the
expensive and rare metals that are
used by the industry.

The highlights
Automotive
This fast-paced sector requires engineers
to work to satisfy customer demands.
Industry headlines
Modern vehicles are highly reliant on
electronics and software. In particular,
in the premium automotive sector
customer expectations regarding
infotainment systems have increased
dramatically, creating demand for
gaming, graphics and software
knowledge as well as engineering
expertise. Reducing carbon emissions
is another key focus, for example
increasing efficiency by decreasing a
vehicles weight through use of
lightweight materials such as
aluminium and composites.

The volatile cost of oil is driving
technology, both to make processes
involving oil more efficient and to
find ways of manufacturing products
with alternative feedstocks (raw
materials). Climate change concerns
affect the industry and often tie in
with good business sense: by making
a plant more efficient or changing a
process to use fewer resources its
often possible to save money.
Considerable amounts of detailed
design and manufacturing capacity
are being moved out of Europe to

Electronics
Work with ever-changing technology to keep consumers
happy and expand a portfolio of products.
he electronics industry is
responsible for the creation of
new technology that all
consumers use or will be using in the
future. There are lots of different subsets of the electronics industry.
A semiconductor company designs
chips or integrated circuits, which are
a set of electronic circuits on
semiconductor material, typically
silicon. Other types of electronics
companies design passive components
such as resistors and capacitors or
manufacture silicon itself.
Consumer electronics companies
then take the chips and other
components and use them to design
products such as smartphones and
tablets, washing machines and
microwaves etc, that everybody uses.
Engineers may work in different
areas: design of the chips, layout
(turning the design into a physical
layer of silicon), manufacturing,
packaging, testing and field
application engineering (supporting
the customer at the next stage of
production technically while they use
the product).

The highlights
Industry headlines
In recent years there has been a greater
focus on research and development in
order to remain at the forefront of
technology. For example, engineers
need to think about whether there is a
better material out there to make a
product with. Innovative thinking is
also required to develop new methods
of manufacture.
A significant issue at the moment is
the importation of cheap steel from
abroad. This has put pressure on some
companies in the UK. Currency and
exchange rates also affects the sector.
Export businesses should benefit from a
drop in the exchange rate, but this also
makes it more expensive to import raw
materials from abroad.

Pharmaceuticals
Engineers in this industry help medicine manufacturers
efficiently move their product from patent to patient.
he pharmaceutical industry
discovers, manufactures and sells
medications and related
products. Formats include tablets,
liquids and vaccines. Employers such as
GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Pfizer
and Novartis conduct their own R&D,
while generic drug manufacturers copy
existing products once the patents
protecting them have expired.
A number of pharmaceutical
companies also produce consumer
products such as oral healthcare.
Industry headlines
One challenge for research-based
companies is that patents last only 20
years but it typically takes 10 to 15
years to bring a product to market.
The speed at which new processes or
technology are introduced is
therefore key. Engineers also help
make businesses competitive after
patents expire by driving
performance and efficiency. A key
market for competitively priced offpatent products is emerging
economies, with their expanding
middle classes.
Another issue, particularly in the
developing world, is counterfeiting.
Engineers are devising solutions, such
as technology that allows each pack
to be uniquely identified and tracked
right the way through to the patient.

ENGINEERING FAQS
Professional bodies
The Engineering Council sets and maintains standards for
the engineering profession. These are described in the UK
Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UKSPEC) www.engc.org.uk/ukspec. The Engineering
Council licenses 35 professional engineering institutions
(PEIs) to assess candidates for inclusion on the national
register of professional engineers and technicians
www.engc.org.uk/institutions.
There are four categories of registration: engineering
technician (EngTech), ICT technician (ICT Tech),
incorporated engineer (IEng) and chartered engineer
(CEng). Graduate engineers tend to aim for either IEng or
CEng status.
Qualifications required
Each title requires certain underpinning knowledge,
usually defined by particular vocational or academic
qualifications, such as accredited degrees. The diagram
opposite outlines standard routes to IEng and CEng status
and a database of accredited degrees can be found at
engc.org.uk/acad. If you feel unsure about your academic
eligibility or you do not hold an accredited degree there
are other pathways to becoming professionally registered.
To explore alternatives, contact your relevant institution.
61
Select the right scheme
Most large engineering employers advertise graduate training
schemes that can help lead to professional registration. Look for
a scheme that is approved by the appropriate professional
engineering institution and find out about the training on offer to
make sure its what you need. Research how you will be supported
and how you will gain the right breadth of experience through
your IPD. At interviews and employer presentations, ask recruiters
about numbers of people on the scheme, pass rates and the average
time it takes for a graduate to achieve professional registration.
You may work in an organisation that doesnt have a training
scheme approved by your institution for example, a smaller
engineering organisation. It is possible to work towards
professional registration in this context by developing a profile of
competence and professional activity to prepare for registration.
The relevant institution is your source of guidance for this.
Incorporated or chartered?
Incorporated engineer (IEng)
Incorporated engineers maintain and manage
applications of current and developing
technology, and may undertake engineering
design, development, manufacture,
construction and operation.

ENGINEERING FAQS
Overseas opportunities
With some engineering employers your working life will
consist of a series of long-term placements, often lasting for
several years, anywhere in the world. Youll fully experience
life in different cultures, perhaps becoming fluent in new
languages. However, you might need to give
thought to your personal life, for example if
you want to settle down with a partner
who cant or wont move with you.
Investigate opportunities with
international organisations such as
Shell and Lloyds Register.
63
Many other engineering employers will offer mediumterm opportunities to work abroad, for example on a
project or as a placement on a graduate scheme. These
organisations may offer longer-term overseas options later
in your career. Again, look into international employers or
those who do significant amounts of work for overseas
clients, such as AkzoNobel, Bechtel, Siemens and GKN
Aerospace. Shorter stints overseas may be more manageable
for your personal life, but youll still need to be sure you
can leave any commitments in the UK for several months or
more at a time.
Explore the UK
Considerable numbers of engineering companies have
bases across the UK. Many of these rotate graduatescheme engineers through multiple locations in order to
expose them to as many aspects of the business as
possible. Such schemes will give you good experience of
different processes, increase your confidence in getting to
know new colleagues and clients, and give you the chance
to explore the UK. Your employer may even help with
accommodation costs, for example assisting you to keep a
permanent base in one part of the country while moving
round to others. Look into employers such as Nestl,
National Grid, DESG and AkzoNobel. However, do be
sure if you sign up that youre happy to spend 18 months
or more moving from town to town.
In sectors such as construction, utilities and energy, you
may keep the same permanent office base but be required to
travel out to relevant sites on a very regular basis. This may
be easier if you want to live in one place, and will certainly
get you out and about, but could mean that you spend a
sizeable chunk of your working week commuting. However,
engineers working for construction industry contractors
may need to move to sites in different parts of the country
at short notice.
64
ENGINEERING FAQS
Starting wages
A typical salary for a graduate engineering job with a
high-profile graduate employer is 25,000. Salaries for
such roles advertised with TARGETjobs Engineering tend
to range between around 22,000 to 30,000. A few
engineering employers pay more, typically (but not
exclusively) oil and gas giants such as BP, Shell and
ExxonMobil. Conversely, salaries for graduate engineers
working for small and medium-sized employers tend to be
slightly lower, often between 18,000 and 25,000.
The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education
survey, which questioned 2015 graduates approximately six
months after they graduated, found:
The average salary for mechanical engineering graduates
with a bachelors degree was 25,000; those with an
integrated masters averaged 27,000.
The average salary for a civil engineering graduate with a
bachelors degree was 25,000; those with an integrated
masters averaged 25,500.
The average salary for electronic and electrical
engineering graduates with a bachelors level degree
was 25,000; those with an integrated masters
averaged 27,000.
NB these figures cover both engineering
graduates working in engineering and those who
moved on to other fields.
65
ENGINEERING FAQS
Branching out
You dont have to leave engineering to explore commercial,
financial and management opportunities. Many larger
engineering employers run programmes that focus on these
areas of their business, for example operations management,
commercial management, technical sales, finance,
procurement and purchasing, supply chain management and
logistics. These represent the essential links between
engineering functions and the business side of the industry.
Take a look at the extended version of this article on
targetjobsengineering.co.uk for more information on these
areas.
An engineering programme within an industry
organisation may also provide you with the opportunity to
rotate through a number of functions both technical and
non-technical. These rotations will give you a greater
appreciation of how the organisation operates and the chance
to find out where your strengths and interests lie.

Working for Network Rail is great. Ive had the opportunity to work with all sorts of
people doing all sorts of jobs throughout the industry, ranging from corporate
strategy to helicopter surveys. Theres huge encouragement to be innovative
whether its re-using old footbridges to improve safety at level crossings and
reduce waste or looking at more efficient ways of working to improve the network.
Great when you like thinking outside the box! The support in professional
development and applied training is excellent in everything from presentation
skills to track design and even how to operate a digger!
