Industry challenges
and opportunities
The R&D sector plays an essential part of the
engineering process and is an industry that continues
to attract substantial investment across the UK.
Technology has simultaneously revolutionized the
way we think, work and play, and the need for
innovation is at the heart of R&D. As a function, it has
created a strong demand for talent with an advanced
skillset as it is from this unique talent pool where
fresh inventive ideas originate and further propel the
sector to reach new heights.
The UK has been at the forefront of some of the
most influential technological improvements in
modern history. It is a country that has a supportive
government, flexible labor market and a strong
willingness to invest in new infrastructure. The
question is how will R&D apply these skills to
continue its future advancement.

4. How to fill the skills gap
Like any cutting-edge, technology driven market, R&D
has a skills gap. With an ageing workforce and limited
new people entering the sector it is clear that the demand
for dynamic and highly experienced professionals
has increased. There is now a growing preference for
candidates to add value with a unique skill set that has
adapted to modernisation practices and exercise an
acute awareness of traditional techniques.
