Engineers play a crucial role in designing, developing, and maintaining our factories and production lines. They are responsible for creating innovative and sustainable solutions, improving efficiency, and ensuring the quality and reliability of our products. Their expertise and technical skills are invaluable in driving our business growth and success.
Professional registration enhances our company's credibility, ensures adherence to ethical standards, and provides access to specialised knowledge, enabling us to deliver high-quality products and services while meeting legal requirements.
We decided to become a Membership Partner with IMechE because it offers numerous benefits, such as access to a large network of engineering professionals, resources for professional development, industry insights, opportunities for collaboration and to raise the profile of Nestlé within the professional engineering community.
The partnership will facilitate the professional recognition of our staff through a structured development plan. At Nestlé, we can foster skills enhancement through training and utilise the scale of our business to offer our employees a breadth of experiences across various engineering disciplines. Plus, through the partnership, we can provide our employees with access to additional external training and networking opportunities beyond Nestlé and across different industries, which will be invaluable for both our staff and the future of our business.
