Sarah Jenkins - Manager, Events Services, MFH, Stevenage
When I first read the advert for my current role I envisaged two downsides – engineering and Stevenage. But the job description sounded just what I was looking for and so, fortunately, I attended my interview. My perceptions changed as soon as I experienced the office environment, met my colleagues and realised what an easy commute Stevenage is from my home in North London.
I joined the IET at a particularly exciting period of intense change, with the organisation become increasingly customer focused and initiating wide ranging projects to improve the services provided to the members. My colleagues are what I would call “drivers of change; ” change is being driven and supported at the highest level with the target of making the IET an ever more modern and inclusive organisation with recruitment taking place from commercial backgrounds to create and sustain the drive.
The IET also offers outstanding benefits; training of the highest quality, which is not just available but actively encouraged; and excellent career opportunities – just park your pre-conceptions in the car park.
