Dave Hogan CEng FIET FInstLM, employed for the past 10 years at BAE Systems, most recently as manager of Engineering, Programmes & Support, has joined the Engineering Council as operations director.
He said: “I join at an exciting time, as we seek to balance the UK economy with manufacturing and infrastructure at the heart of the political agenda. It is here that the contribution of the UK’s engineers and technicians is crucial. As part of this, I will be looking to build on my past experience in driving forward the benefits to the UK, to business, and to the individual, of professional registration as a means of identifying those engineers and technicians who display not only technical skills, but equally a commitment to developing their professionalism, and adherence to our ethical principles.” Dave Hogan previously spent 26 years in the Royal Navy, working his way up from Artificer Apprentice to Leadership Training Officer for 2nd Sea Lord. Alongside sitting on the Engineering Council’s Board of Trustees in the year before his appointment, he worked closely with the Professional Engineering Institutions to help embed professional registration into BAE Systems’ staff structure, and has also been involved in the Technician Council’s work.
