During the covid-19 pandemic, working from home has become more common than ever across all industries, including engineering. However, in the wake of the spreading virus, it was found that engineering firms were one of the least prepared sectors for working remotely (report here<\/a>). Possibly due to the nature of many engineering roles or the technology required, engineering is not the most applicable discipline for home working.<\/p>\n

In this guide we give examples of some popular engineering jobs that can be done from home, as well as listing some of the skills that suit working an engineering role at home. You can find out more about how covid-19 will impact engineering with our recent blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Work from Home Engineering Jobs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many engineering jobs can be done from home. In fact, in a poll conducted in March 2020, 75% of engineers polled said they could perform their job roles from home (poll here<\/a>). As a nod to the \u2018new norm\u2019 in the industry, the term \u201ctelecommuting engineer\u201d has been coined to describe the work from home era of workers.<\/p>\n

Of all STEM roles, engineering is one of the most work from home-friendly. Some engineering roles are restricted by practical approach, such as construction engineers, electrical engineers, and production technicians, but the vast majority can be done remotely. As long as engineers have a computer, internet connection and any specialist equipment required, they should be able to effectively work from home.<\/p>\n

Engineering is an expansive field with lots of nuanced specialities within it; civil, mechanical, chemical, environmental, materials, nuclear, aerospace and more. For these disciplines, there are many jobs available to engineers across a range of employers, from government agencies and consultancies to contractor companies and scientific organisations. Overall, these various disciplines and employers result in a wide range of engineering roles, most of which are suitable for work from home.<\/p>\n
