A 3-day celebration of Lincolnshire's Engineering Past, Present & Future

SPARK! Engineering Festival is back for 2019 and promises to be even bigger and better than in previous years.

For the first time, SPARK! 2019 will incorporate Civil Engineering to celebrate and showcase the marvellous achievements of this discipline. This ties in nicely with the construction of Lincoln’s new Eastern Bypass and the many challenges it presents. The magnificent event setting of Lincoln Cathedral is a Civil Engineering masterpiece in its own right.

Engineering...

the application of scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, societal and commercial problems to help imrpove people's lives and advance humanity.

Throughout history, engineering has been an integral part of life in Lincoln and the the surrounding area. From the time the Romans built a fortress overlooking the Witham, the creation of the Fossdyke Canal, through the construction of the castle and catherdrl, to the industrial revolution and the "founding fathers" of Lincoln's proud engineering tradition- Nathaniel Clayton, Joseph Shuttleworth, William Foster, Joseph Ruston and Robert Robey- and to today's leading engineering communicty, Lincoln's engineers have applied their knowledge and ingenuity to shape the world.

As you follow our journey through history to the present day, you will see how our local engineering community has developed and continues to flourish. We have world leading people and world beating engineering businesses, teachers, researches and technologisits who are applying their knowledge and skills to innovate, design, create and supply the best engineering people, services and products worldwide.

Let our story spark your imagination as it has insoired thousands of people to amrvel at our engineering acheivements and ingenuity of our local heroes and how they have changed our lives.

-Doctor Paul Taylor

Engineering UTC Northern Lincolnshire, is a non-selective, publicly funded school for 13-19 year olds that aims to deliver well-rounded students into the engineering and technology industries through a specialist STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. With a focus on connecting education to industry, students receive an innovative concept of learning that combines technical, practical and academic learning. By doing so, it provides students with something more than the traditional GCSE and A Level curriculum. Exposing individuals to real-industry projects and industry experts, enables them to progress into their dream careers by gaining the skills, experience, knowledge, qualifications and confidence required by todays employers. 

Opened in September 2015, the ENL UTC £12m campus is set in the heart of Scunthorpe town centre on Carlton Street, close to both bus and train stations. The campus contains some of the most up-to-date, cutting edge engineering, scientific and computer facilities in the country that provide engaging workshop spaces to learn alongside of the theoretical work. 

There are currently around 50 UTCs throughout England that are spearheading a new approach to teaching engineering and technical skills to schoolchildren around the UK. Each UTC has been established where employers need them most and where there are pronounced skill gaps. This is what makes the ENL UTC so unique within the region, allowing the next generation of workers to get much sought after skill sets to make that rapid transition into the workplace. 

As the ENL UTC is currently in it's third year, the school is continuing to grow. At the moment we employ around 28 members of staff including both teaching and support staff. 

Every staff member employed at the school is passionate about not only their job role but also the schools vision and ethos. Staff do not raise their voices, the school does not have an isolation system and we respect the students as much as we would like them to respect us. The ENL UTC is very focused on the individuals and building those relationships. 

From a recent staff survey it stated that 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the UTC was a great place to work, 100% agreed that the UTC has a great vision and that the staff force is well led, and the average staff morale was 8.73 out of 10. 

Our staff members believe that there is a sense of belonging when working at the ENL UTC and due to the unique learning environment it allows them to praise and acknowledge students successes and progression. 

My job role is as the ENL UTC Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, and I love my job because every day is different. Not only do I plan strategy for the year, manage all digital platforms and arrange literature, I also get to work closely with students and industry partners to create a sense of engagement throughout the community. Every day I am involved in an activity, event, workshop etc. that engages the students to be more involved in promoting their school. 

Recently we have had permission to open the school up to a year 9, meaning that the ENL UTC is one of the first UTCs in the country to be able to do this. 

We are continuously progressing and opening up the campus to new, relevant industry machinery for the curriculum as well as engaging more with the local community, showcasing our student talents. 

British Steel, based in Scunthorpe, have a range of high quality steel products that go into a number of markets around the world. They also have a network of metal centres and service centres across the UK and Ireland enabling them to serve their customers quicker and more efficiently.

Lincoln College’s Air & Defence Career College provides employer-led, career focused education and technical training for 16 to 19-year-olds. Our employer supporters will work closely with us to provide this unique and innovative model, which is designed to create secure career paths in the RAF, aerospace and catering industries for young people.

Launched in September 2016, at our Lincoln Campus, we have seen our students progress into exciting careers in the RAF, Anglian Water, Mercedes Benz, ITP Engineering and Minebea Engineering. In 2018 we anticipate the number of enrolled students to be 100. 

Our carefully designed study programmes, which have been shaped by our industry partners, offer a unique blend of academic education and technical training, infused with an additional focus on leadership, communication and team building.

Our students will get involved with industry-set projects, co-designed by employers - equipping them to enter their career of choice, ahead of the game and ready to progress.

Career College students will spend a significant proportion of time experiencing industry environments first-hand through an extensive programme of work experience. And industry experts will join their tutors at College to pass on their knowledge and experience.

Core academic study areas like Maths, English and Science will be contextualised to the specialism of the Career College, digital skills development will be a major priority.

Meet the team:

David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.

Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.

Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!

Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her

Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career

The Water Management Alliance

The Water Management Alliance (WMA) is a group of like-minded Internal Drainage Boards (known as IDBs) operating in the Anglian Region. We are building resource and capacity in the Anglian region in order to meet the challenges of climate change, sustainable water and flood risk management.  The WMA works closely with our IDB’s, partners, communities and individuals to secure new funding streams and deliver innovative approaches at a local level.  

We welcome partnership approaches and aim to deliver value for money projects using local expertise and experience.  

Did you know Internal Drainage Boards…?

• date back some 900 years and are one of Europe’s oldest water management organisations.
  
• have statutory powers to undertake flood defence and water management works. 
  
• aim to manage water levels and flood risk management for people and wildlife sustainably and aim to limit impacts of flood and drought within their drainage districts.  
  
• are collectively one of the biggest managers of freshwaters and wetlands in the UK.  
  
• manage drainage districts that cover 10% of the land in England and Wales.
  
• manage and maintain over 500 pumping stations, 22,000 km of watercourse and numerous sluices and weirs for people and wildlife.  
  

The Water Management Alliance works for and on behalf of other Flood Risk Management Authorities as well as community groups, NGO’s and landowners.  We also deliver significant flood risk management benefits and enhanced environmental outcomes on the ground.  Our members are all independent and democratically accountable statutory bodies who seek to protect some 548,000 hectares in East Anglia. 

The WMA Eastern Drainage Boards include the Broads IDB, East Suffolk IDB and the Norfolk Rivers IDB.  

South Holland:

This  includes some of the most fertile arable land in the world and is widely recognised as the bread basket of Britain. The area is home to around 60,000 people, a thriving local economy and an increasingly popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the country. The area is both locally and nationally important and worth the cost of defending and protecting, now and in future.

Although the entire area is at considerable theoretical risk of river flooding and inundation from the sea, the actual risk is substantially reduced by the work that we do in partnership with Local Authorities, the Environment Agency and Natural England.

The area's full watershed catchment area draining to the Drainage District is the same as the Drainage District, which means that we can provide a better service than we might otherwise be able to: this is because we are not compelled to take surface water from outside the Drainage District that we have no control over. This gives us an advantage in being able to protect the people of South Holland and reduce the risk of flooding.

If you choose to work for the WMA or any of its Member Boards you will be joining an organisation which is striving to provide employees with a positive employment experience. Whether you work for us as a digger driver or as a member of the senior management team, there will be a considerable variety of challenges in your diverse workload and you will be offered real opportunities for career development.
