about engineer jobs
Engineers are professionals who invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost.
Engineers develop new products using tested designs and processes. When creating a product, an engineer often specifies the requirements and puts together the components. As an engineer, your work will typically involve product design, as well as the production and maintenance of various products. Engineers work across many sectors, some engineers work in construction or industrial settings, while others work in the technology, energy or pharmaceutical sector.

how do I apply for a job as an engineer?
If you are interested in becoming an engineer, a university degree or an apprenticeship is a great place to begin:
- degree: almost all entry-level engineering jobs need a bachelor's degree, but some require college graduates with qualifications in science and mathematics. Engineering degrees are available in mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical and aeronautical fields. You can also be trained in one branch and work in a related field. For instance, mechanical engineers can work in aerospace engineering or automotive. This allows you to shift to fields with better employment prospects when you need a change.
- postgraduate: after a degree course, you can do doctoral studies like a master's and PhD. While it isn't compulsory, it deepens your knowledge and helps you acquire sector-specific skills. Postgraduate studies are crucial to getting into research and product design.
- apprenticeship: instead of getting an undergraduate degree in engineering, you can do an apprenticeship. It provides you with on-the-job training and a national diploma in engineering.
For information on the qualifications and relevant education needed for the role see the ‘education and skills’ section of our engineer job profiles.
