Membership
Development Officer
Irwin & Dow
Dubai, UAE
Irwin & Dow are proud
to represent a leading professional institution which has been established for
over 200 years, and is renown throughout the globe for professional qualifications
and continuous career development. This membership organisation has over 91,000
individual members; 900 of which are based within the UAE and employed across
large MNCs. The core function of the institution is to assist their members
with full professional and career development, including qualifications such as
apprenticeships, foundation degrees, BEng and MEng. With a Head office based in
London, they have recently set up a regional Middle East office in Dubai and
are therefore seeking a Membership Development Officer (MDO) to assist regional
civil engineering members of all ages and levels of expertise.
The main function of the Membership Development Officer is to assist and guide members through their personal training and development plans from initial onboarding, classroom support, career guidance, individual one to one meetings, webinars to group discussions in the form of “career and development clinics”. In addition you will be expected to collaborate with other regions to share good practice, training effectiveness reviews and share information with the training teams and key stakeholders.
The organisation is extremely member centric and aims to fully support individuals throughout the longevity of their career as a civil engineer. It is expected that you will actively listen and seek out new learning opportunities in order to assist the members and improve the reach of the institution. In turn you will also encourage school leavers to pursue a civil engineering career with presentations and those with years of experience to pursue modern qualifications. You will also keep abreast of market intelligence and changes in legal requirements, so candidates with a clear passion for the engineering industry should apply. As the role develops the MDO will gain a wide network of members and connections within the industry, so it is imperative that the successful candidate has an understanding of the civil engineering field and is extremely hands on with people at all levels.
