In its inaugural year, The Engineering Labour Report 2025 captures the views of 3,288 engineers across every discipline and career stage.

Inside this year’s report:

• A loss of knowledge through retirement - with 20% of senior engineers planning to leave in the next five years.
• How IR35 misclassification is draining talent and raising costs.
• Why 40% of engineers are considering moving to a different sector.
• The impact of security clearance delays on defence, space, and national capability.
• What engineers really want: pay, satisfaction, and respected employers.

This is a call to action for industry and government to rethink how we attract, retain, and respect engineers.
