The Industry Secretary acts as the key link between the Civil Engineering Society and the professional world. 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.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys networking, takes initiative, and wants to make a meaningful impact on the professional development of their peers. As Industry Secretary, you’ll gain valuable experience in stakeholder engagement, event coordination, and professional communication—while building your own industry network.
