This platform connects SOE members with experienced mentors from diverse engineering fields, from road transport and plant operations to engineering surveyors and environmental, providing an opportunity for knowledge-sharing and career development.
Ahead of its launch, more than 90 engineering experts registered their interest in becoming mentors. The platform, built on PLD Mentoring Software, leverages advanced matching technology to pair mentees with mentors based on specific skills and expertise.
The platform allows users to create a profile and search for mentors that align with their areas of expertise.
“We’re thrilled to offer this platform as an additional benefit to our members,” said Robin Bates, membership and professional standards lead. “Mentorship is a cornerstone of professional growth, and by bringing together experts from all corners of engineering, we’re fostering a community that drives innovation and excellence.”
The mentoring platform adds to SOE’s list of member benefits. This initiative is particularly valuable for students, apprentices and early-career engineers seeking guidance and support as they navigate the industry. Mentoring also gives seasoned engineers a chance to share their knowledge with the future generation of engineering mavericks.
SOE invites engineering professionals, from seasoned experts to aspiring engineers, to join the platform and contribute to a community of shared knowledge and growth.
