engineer jobs contract types
Engineer jobs have multiple contract types, including:
- Permanent engineer jobs: a permanent position doesn’t have a specific end date. You are contracted to work at the organisation indefinitely, until retirement or until your resignation.
- Temporary engineer jobs: in a temporary position, you are not tied to one particular employer, as your contract will have a proposed duration. While contract roles present a great opportunity to improve your skills and gain valuable experience, in some cases they result in staying at the organisation post contract, or even taking on a permanent position.
- Part-time engineer jobs: in a part-time position, you can enjoy reduced work hours, presenting greater work-life balance.
- Full-time engineer jobs: a full-time position allows you to maintain a regular working schedule, typically during the working week, allowing you to have weekends free, depending on whether you will be working shifts or traditional working hours. Full-time contracts can be on either a fixed, temporary or permanent contract basis.

about engineer jobs
Engineers develop new products using tested designs and processes. When creating a product, an engineer often specifies the requirements and puts together the components. As an engineer, your work will typically involve product design, as well as the production and maintenance of various products. For instance, you will be in charge of supervising factories to ensure the equipment is handled appropriately. Engineers work across many sectors, some engineers work in construction or industrial settings, while others work in the energy sector or pharmaceuticals.

how do I apply for a job as an engineer?
If you are interested in becoming an engineer, a university degree or an apprenticeship is a great place to begin:
- degree: almost all entry-level engineering jobs need a bachelor's degree, but some require college graduates with qualifications in science and mathematics. Engineering degrees are available in mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical and aeronautical fields. You can also be trained in one branch and work in a related field. For instance, mechanical engineers can work in aerospace engineering or automotive. This allows you to shift to fields with better employment prospects when you need a change.
- postgraduate: after a degree course, you can do doctoral studies like a master's and PhD. While it isn't compulsory, it deepens your knowledge and helps you acquire sector-specific skills. Postgraduate studies are crucial to getting into research and product design.
- apprenticeship: instead of getting an undergraduate degree in engineering, you can do an apprenticeship. It provides you with on-the-job training and a national diploma in engineering.
For information on the qualifications and relevant education needed for the role see the ‘education and skills’ section of our engineer job profile.
