Move Up guides

Explore UK engineering work

Civil, mechanical and electrical engineering experience can lead to quite different job searches. The projects you have worked on and the responsibility you carried are more informative than the word engineer alone.

What makes an opportunity a good fit?

Compare the role’s technical focus, project environment and expected responsibility. Professional recognition may be relevant to particular work or employers; a familiar title does not prove that two jobs are equivalent.

How does the work route fit?

A suitable employer, a job offer and permission to work are separate milestones. Current vacancies and any sponsorship need to be confirmed for the particular role. Use the work-route guides alongside your career research, then talk to Move Up about your experience and the opportunity you want to explore.
