Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. Electrical engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft. Usually, electrical engineers will make sure projects meet safety standards, estimate costs and project timings and attend meetings, write reports and conduct presentation. 

The electrical equipment that you'll design and manufacture is used across many sectors, including:

• the building industry and services, including lighting, heating and ventilation

• transportation and transport networks

• manufacturing and construction

• production and distribution of power

• renewable energy.

The main routes to get into this role are:

• A university course- there are many different degrees you could undertake in many different areas. 

• A college course- there are different diplomas that you could undertake to become an electrical engineer.

• An apprenticeship- there are many relevant degree apprenticeships that can support you in becoming an electrical engineer. 

• Working towards the role- you could work your way up in this role by gaining an entry level job. 

• Apply directly- you can apply for aerospace engineering jobs directly if you've got qualifications and experience.

It's common to enter the profession with a degree in electrical or electronic engineering. Other subjects are accepted though and relevant ones include:

• aeronautical engineering

• building services engineering

• communications engineering

• computing and software engineering

• electromechanical engineering

• mechanical and production engineering

• physics and applied physics

• power and energy engineering.

Apprenticeships relevant to this role include:

• Electrical or electronic technical support engineer degree apprenticeship

• Electro-mechanical engineer higher apprenticeship

These apprenticeships typically take between 4 and 6 years to complete. You could start on an engineering technician apprenticeship and work your way up to qualified engineer.

This is dependent on the company and area, you will also usually need to go through an interview process when applying for a degree apprenticeship in aerospace engineering.
