Welcome to the Germany Group
The Institution is represented in Germany by David Eyre-Jackson, the Honorary Chair, Graeme Wilcock, the Vice-Chair and Steven Kirkham, Honorary Secretary, as well as a young member representative, Thomas Probert who are the first points of contact for Institution Members and prospective members in Germany. These representatives can help you with membership queries and developing links with industry, universities and engineering institutions.
The Germany group is further broken down into smaller regional areas (shown below) with a point of contact for each region.
Our aims
-
Help to improve mobility of engineers by:
-
Improving the understanding and acceptance of IMechE qualifications by German institutions
-
Improving links between the IMechE and German institutions
-
To represent the interests of IMechE-recognised engineers in Germany by:
-
Encouraging the development of multicultural engineering teams
-
Providing them with support from the IMechE itself
-
Connecting them with other members for mentoring, recruitment and further learning and development
Breakdown of the group per membership
The group consists of around 400 members split across all membership and professional registration levels.
Breakdown of the group per regional
The group is split into a number of regions to enable more networking with people in each region. Your local area rep can be found at the contact us link.
The group maintains regular contact via email (please ensure your contact details with the IMechE are kept up to date to reflect your German living address for this). A group LinkedIn page is also kept up to date with events and is a great way to reach out and connect with others in the group.
