Job Details

The Royal Academy of Engineering shapes thinking and champions research and innovation across all fields of engineering. Our Fellowship brings together the nation’s best practising engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs, many of whom hold leading roles in business and academia, and our outreach activity places engineering at the heart of policymaking. In short, we drive the transformation of ideas and materials into infrastructure, products and services that benefit everyone and increase the wealth and health of the UK economy.

Research underpins everything we do, and in this key position you will manage a substantial portfolio of programmes while mentoring and motivating your own team. We will look to you to take the lead on engineering research issues as you shape and develop our flagship schemes, oversee our electronic grants management system, and partner our Communications specialists to promote our impact. At the same time, you will manage relationships with beneficiaries, alumni and other important stakeholders and actively secure new partnerships and income streams, demanding exceptional interpersonal skills and entrepreneurial spirit.

Capable of delivering projects on time, within budget and to demanding targets, you will combine a degree-level qualification in an engineering or scientific discipline with extensive management experience. Significant exposure to the research community is crucial, backed up by broad knowledge of the grants management process, business-university collaboration, and the UK engineering sector. Most importantly, you will share our passion for research and our determination to make a difference.
