Engineering Sector

Our Engineering sector expertise is here to help our members navigate the numerous challenges the sector faces. With Britain currently engaged in ambitious, highly technical infrastructure projects from High Speed 2 to Hinkley Point, plus a big focus on renewable energy as part of efforts to reach Net Zero by 2050, finding skilled labour is a major challenge.
