    Description

    What if you contributed to influencing the global engineering community?

    What if you worked in a team that advised government and policymakers on matters relating to engineering and technology?

    What if you were our Policy Advisor?

    At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people. At the IET you'll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter.
