This role is ideal for someone who is proactive, career-focused, and passionate about building industry connections and providing valuable opportunities for students to engage with the civil engineering profession.
As Industry Secretary, you will:
- Establish and maintain relationships with industry professionals, alumni, and engineering firms to create opportunities for talks, workshops, and networking events.
- Organise career-focused events, such as company presentations, panel discussions, mock interviews, CV clinics, and placement insights sessions.
- Liaise with engineering companies to arrange site visits, office tours, and industry collaboration projects that provide students with real-world exposure.
- Act as a point of contact for sponsors, assisting in securing and maintaining sponsorships that support society activities.
- Work closely with the university’s Employability Team, careers services, and relevant academic staff to stay updated on industry engagement opportunities and upcoming career fairs.
- Support members in their career development by sharing internship, placement, and graduate scheme opportunities through the society’s communication channels.
- Coordinate with the Social Media Officer to promote industry events, speaker sessions, and application tips on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn.
- Ensure inclusivity and relevance by organising events that cater to all year groups and reflect the diversity of roles within civil and structural engineering.
- Document all industry interactions and feedback, ensuring continuity and smooth handover for future committees.
