Mechanical engineers are in production and components to create small new production techniques for major equipment and machinery involved. You can participate in only part of the process, such as the search for the product or process, or design, and test a product can be seen through to completion and implementation. Mechanical engineers are working to improve safety and efficiency and can be used in the manufacturing, healthcare and construction work to name a few - there are many other areas that require their services.
A mechanical engineer used to work as a team, possibly with other engineers from different backgrounds and need strong skills in project management and time management. Once the project is currently a mechanical engineer by training, ways need to put the theory to find and with other departments, customers, suppliers and customers for feedback in conjunction. Once the prototype was created, he or she will evaluate and improve products and processes, taking into account the impact on health and safety and the environment of the new systems.
Good management skills, both of people and resources are needed, and the mechanical engineer is responsible for the financial consequences.

Typical starting salaries are from £ 19,000 to £ 25,000, but you can vary by sector has been working in the high salaries range from £ 40,000 to £ 50,000, but again could be higher if there is a demand, especially for mechanical engineers in a particular industry. The times are usually can in the normal work week 5.9, but may be higher if the deadlines can be reached quickly. Shift schedules can work. Mechanical engineers are often used in offices, but to work by attending the workshops, factories and construction sites.
Women are underrepresented in only 6% in the profession, but there are measures to increase the average eg WISE (Women in Science, Engineering and Construction), or "Women Engineering Society that manages groups of students in universities.
There are many opportunities to find other jobs in areas with high production bias and more work is available abroad, especially in Eastern Europe to work.
