Position:

Do you have a passion for science, engineering and working with people?

As a Learned Society Officer at the Institution of Chemical Engineers, you would be developing knowledge resources for IChemE members.

Aligned with IChemE's overall strategy and priority topic areas, the learned society officer will propose, develop and support initiatives to create activities and knowledge resources for IChemE members. This will involve working closely with members to drive activities and create resources that deliver IChemE's vision engineering a sustainable world for members in sectors such as energy, water, food, health and wellbeing, and which draw on the underlying principles of sustainability, safety and digitalisation.
