Murray McIntosh is delighted to have partnered with Enginuity, the UK's leading skills charity for engineering and manufacturing, in their search for a Policy Officer.
Enginuity works at the intersection of data, policy, and skills development, investing over £2 million annually to tackle barriers to entry and progression in the sector - particularly for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups.
This Policy Officer appointment offers a rare opportunity to support an influential policy and public affairs function within a mission-driven organisation, helping to shape the future of the UK's industrial skills landscape.
The successful candidate will be joining a growing, forward-looking policy team at a formative moment, with the opportunity to help shape its direction and culture from the ground up.
A key focus for the team in the coming months will be the launch of Enginuity's National Policy Centre - a collaborative space for beneficiaries and stakeholders in the small and medium enterprise market. This high-profile project offers an exciting prospect for new postholders to play a meaningful role in its development and delivery.
The Role
Reporting to the Policy Manager - Four Nations, the Policy Officer will support Enginuity's growing public affairs and advocacy function, looking at skills across all the UK nations. The role will involve political monitoring, policy research, stakeholder mapping, and drafting briefings and updates that influence policy debates and enhance Enginuity's national profile.
Key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring legislation, consultations, and parliamentary activity across the UK and devolved governments.
- Producing monthly policy updates and insight briefings for both internal teams and external partners.
- Supporting responses to key policy developments and government programmes relating to engineering, manufacturing, and skills.
- Conducting stakeholder mapping and relationship tracking, including parliamentarians and government officials.
- Assisting with external engagement, including APPGs, roundtables, conferences, and official meetings.
- Drafting policy materials, briefings, and communications for a range of audiences and channels.
- Providing logistical and secretariat support for internal and external policy-related meetings.
- Supporting delivery of projects and events, including international policy exchanges, campaigns, and research.
This role will suit a graduate or early-career professional looking to build experience in policy, advocacy, or public affairs within a high-impact and values-led organisation. The successful candidate will demonstrate:
- A degree in public policy, political science, economics, or a related field.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to grasp new topics quickly.
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise work in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- A collaborative mindset and confidence engaging with internal and external stakeholders.
- A passion for education, skills, and making a difference in UK industry.
Why Join Enginuity?

- Be part of a mission-led organisation making a national impact.
- Gain exposure to senior stakeholders and cross-sector policy engagement.
- Develop your career in public policy within a supportive and ambitious environment.
- Be part of a flexible, employee-centric culture, with strong commitment to an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace.
