What is so great about the mechanical engineering industry?
The Institute of Mechanical Engineers expects there to be 2m new job vacancies for engineers by 2022. There is a real shortage of skills in this sector right now, indicating salaries will be much higher for the professionals that are qualified and available for work.
The national average wage is a myth to mechanical engineers. The average entry level salary for graduate engineers is approx. £26,500 and this is one below the highest graduates salaries, coming close to medicine and dentistry.
Q: What do I need to become a mechanical engineer?
A: If you're applying for the larger supermajors, an engineering degree will often be required as a minimum and the interview will involve cultural/ work ethical comparisons.
If you're looking to work for a smaller or local business, often or not, the minimum requirement will be previous experience. Opting for an apprenticeship allows you to gain on-the-job experience whilst earning a qualification.
