Im a MEng Mechanical Eng. I have nearly 4 years of Project Engineering experience at a FTSE100, massive international company. The project I delivered for is worth over £150m over 10 years.
I dont have any coding skills, I didnt really use CAD/FEA much in my role but can jump back in with some practice. It was basically design assurance, authority, approval etc. Design rectification work, planning deconfliction etc., usual Proj Eng stuff. I am now in a pure Mechanical Engineer role, transferred to a different project just this year (10% international travel involved which im looking forward to)
How transferable am I? Im basically a corperate engineer. I can do everything to the book. I want to change industries, ideally to energy based or infra. Something that pays well in the UK. What companies should I look at? Non defense please. Do I stick with big corperate? I want to be a consultant in the future
Alternatively, do i look at maybe pivotting away from Technical, with my project management skills? This probably speeds up the consultancy aspirations?
I dont work in London, but more than open to, but that would require like £15k pay rise to compensate rent charges or have a 2, possibly 3day Hybrid job and commute in.
I have LinkedIn, on recruiter boards etc. Open to network if anyone can refer.
