The Aerospace Network brings together Aerospace professionals to network and hear about new developments in all aspects of Aerospace i.e., commercial, industrial, and military applications.

Given the challenges that the industry currently faces due to Brexit, Covid-19, and the threat of climate change, it presents exciting opportunities to influence the direction of the industry, and to bring about meaningful and sustainable impact on how the challenges are addressed. Our objective is to drive engagements in conventional technologies as well as battery, hydrogen fuel cell/direct burn, UAM/drone technologies to mention a few.

We are seeking four new members for our Executive Committee, committee members should be technicians/engineers or technologists working in Aerospace in industry/academia/Armed Forces and applications from diverse backgrounds are encouraged.

The Executive committee meets 4 times per year, with up to 2 meetings being in person*) with the others via Teams calls. Travel expenses can be reclaimed for attending the meeting and where a volunteer is involved in organising an activity.

Our Aerospace Young Professionals Group are also looking for new volunteers for their team.

If you are interested in any of the above vacancies, please read our Aerospace Charter/Strategy attached to this blog which gives further information about the various roles, the benefits, and the expectation of the volunteering role.

If you would like to apply for any of these volunteer roles, please forward a copy of your CV to Deborah-Claire McKenzie, Aerospace Community Manager by 31 August.

Applications for the Executive Team will be balanced against our skills matrix which we use to ensure that the committee covers the full range of engineering disciplines. We are particularly looking for people from the following sectors:

- Airlines
- Airports
- Armed Forces/MOD
- Large OEMs
- Manufacturing
- Space (launch, sub-orbital space transport),
- Supply Chain

* International volunteers have the facility to participate in our Executive/YP team meetings via teams calls and we are keen to look at expanding our activities beyond the UK.
