As a National Academy, we provide leadership for engineering and technology, and independent, expert advice to policymakers in the UK and beyond.
It’s an exciting time to join us as we look forward to celebrating our 50th year in 2026 and embark on the delivery of our new strategy. Strategy 2030 will build on the engineering excellence we’ve delivered over the past five years through the introduction of new goals. These will include unlocking greater societal value from technology, and focusing on place to ensure that engineering is delivering to the needs of people in different contexts and regions.
As our new Chief Operating Officer, you’ll play a key role in our continued pursuit of excellence as we drive even stronger performance through new capabilities, maximising the contribution of digital, data and product capability whilst adopting a more entrepreneurial spirit to secure additional new funding sources that align with our mission and purpose and enable us to deliver greater value.
