IT engineers in demand more than any other job

IT engineer is the fastest growing job category in the UK, with demand from employers outpacing that for any other role, according to a report out today.

Job vacancies for IT engineers leapt by more than a third between April 2018 and now, making the role the fastest growing in the British jobs market.

The analysis by recruitment website Indeed also reveals strong demand for other design and technology professionals. Vacancies for product designers increased by nearly a third over the same period, while CNC machinists, who specialise in making machine parts for industry, account for the fourth fastest growing job (up 31.2 per cent).

Demand for mobile developers jumped by 28.2 percent, putting it comfortably into the top ten fastest growing roles.

Bill Richards, UK managing director of Indeed, said: “Virtually all organisations – not to mention the country as a whole – rely on IT infrastructure, and as a result the need for people who can install, service and protect it has mushroomed.”
