S3E03: Engineer of the future: building tomorrow’s workforce

Welcome to season 3 of AECOM’s Talking Infrastructure podcast. Talking Infrastructure delves into the industry’s hot topics, key projects, and the ground-breaking innovations that are helping to solve some of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges.

We'll be discussing everything from driving cost and time efficiencies within the rail industry to the importance of collaboration in bringing hydrogen projects forward.

In this episode, host James Banks is joined by Dr Sara Venning from Northern Ireland Water, Dr Alice Bunn of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and Eloise John, AECOM's energy lead for Europe and India.

Together, they discuss how we can plan, develop, and recruit a workforce fit for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Our guest speakers address questions such as:

  • What are the key technologies shaping the future of engineering? 
  • What emerging trends should engineers be aware of and prepare for? 
  • How can we cultivate greater diversity in the workplace?
  • How can engineers foster innovation and creativity in their work?

As well as emphasising the importance of soft skills alongside technical expertise, the discussion also highlights the necessity of lifelong learning – and why it’s crucial to remain agile in an industry where future job roles are yet unknown.
