Volunteer Vacancies in London
A number of volunteer vacancies exist. Any member of IMechE from Affiliates to Fellows may volunteer to help regional activities. Any level of support is welcomed from one hour a week to as much time as you can spare.
Young member vacancies are aimed at student and young professional engineers. If you are a Young Member (an Affiliate, Associate or Corporate Member less than 10 years accredited) then it's best to get involved in the Young Members Panel.
The easiest way to get involved is by contacting one of the people listed below and turning up to the next panel meeting to meet the team and find out more about how to get involved.
All the roles are voluntary, there is no fixed level of commitment and further details for specific roles can be provided by the vacancy contact.
Benefits of joining the Panel
- Looks great on your CV and will help you towards your application to get registered (chartered or incorporated) with the Institution and when you go for your interview.
- A chance to develop/ hone your leadership skills, manage a budget or organise an event
- Networking – the panel is not industry specific so it’s an opportunity to broaden your network and meet new people with a common interest
- There is no fixed level of commitment, you can get involved as much or little as you like (volunteer at one single event in the year or commit a few hours every week by filling one of the main roles on the panel)
