Research and Evaluation Team Internships (2 roles)

EngineeringUK is a not-for-profit organisation committed to increasing the diversity and numbers of young people entering engineering and technology to meet the future workforce needs, as well as promoting roles that help us work towards net zero and drive environmental sustainability.

We are pleased to announce two internship openings within our Research and Evaluation team.

As an intern working with us you will have an opportunity to learn and hone your skills in an exciting central London location, working with a passionate and driven team. We are looking for two versatile, collaborative and curious individuals to work with us on some mission critical projects. You will work with a passionate, friendly team on real research and evaluation projects—analysing data, collaborating across teams, and turning insights into clear recommendations that help shape what we do. This is a great opportunity to build practical skills, learn how evidence informs decision‑making, and make a genuine contribution to mission‑critical work.

Key learning objectives

You will…

• collaborate with key stakeholders including your research and evaluation colleagues and working across the organisation
• develop your communication, teamwork and stakeholder‑engagement skills while working cross‑functionally
• work on projects tracking actions, analysing data/processes, and identifying key milestones, risks and priorities within projects
• develop clear, evidence‑based outputs, including short reports, summaries or presentations
• use your data analysis to draw insights and make practical recommendations.

About the job and your responsibilities

Both internships are an opportunity to gain hands‑on experience of research and evaluation within an education and outreach charity. Working as part of EngineeringUK’s Research and Evaluation team, the Research and Evaluation Interns will support the delivery of evaluations that help us understand and improve the impact of our programmes for schools, teachers and young people.

With support and supervision from experienced evaluation colleagues, you will contribute to real evaluation projects from start to finish. This may include helping with data collection, preparing and analysing data, and contributing to clear, accessible outputs that communicate what we are learning.

The roles are designed to be developmental and learning‑focused. You will be supported to build practical skills in evaluation and research, while gaining insight into how evidence is used to inform programme design, delivery and decision‑making in the education and STEM outreach sector.

We believe that hybrid working has many benefits and are pleased to offer flexible working with options for some remote working.

The roles are London based at our office at 10 Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6EN. We believe that hybrid working has many benefits and are pleased to offer options for working remotely, alongside working in our vibrant central London office overlooking the Thames.

Further details on our flexible working practices can be discussed at interview, or you can reach out to a member of our HR team. Full details of the role can be found in the job description.
