The team is responsible for the development, co-ordination and delivery of the Institution’s International, UK and Young Member operational plans to deliver the Institution’s strategy.
Volunteer Network
Within the UK, activities for our members are coordinated locally through 16 Regions, each with its own volunteer committee. These Regional Committees, in conjunction with more locally focused Areas, Divisional Centres and Young Member Panels organise activities to engage and support members as well as raise the profile of the profession and the Institution locally.
From an international perspective, the Institution has a membership of over 20,000 in 122 countries. Again, activities are coordinated locally through a diverse network of volunteers working in close co-operation with local professional engineering organisations.
International activity is coordinated in the broadest sense through seven Regional groupings that encompass the whole of the International membership and work with the Institution's volunteer groupings within each country to provide services for their members locally and raise the profile of the Institution and the profession.

Support Services
The network is supported and guided by the staff of the Engineering Operations team based in London and a field office in Hong Kong. Our main objective is to provide strategic and practical support to ensure that the volunteer network can effectively deliver the Institution’s strategy locally. The team acts as a focal point for all volunteers and key services including:
- The co-ordination of the key strategic boards
- The development and promotion of activities to support the engagement of members and non members
- The development of new markets overseas in terms of member acquisition
- Raising the global profile of the Institution and the engineering profession
