Plymouth Manufacturers’ Group is the Devon and Cornwall Partner for Primary Engineer’s” What would I do if I was an Engineer” Competition 2026
We are delighted to announce that the PMG has become the regional partner of Primary Engineer’s annual ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’ competition
Bringing engineering into your classroom couldn’t be easier with this annual cross-curricular STEAM competition from Primary Engineer. It’s fully-funded for all UK schools and home-educated groups and asks pupils aged 3-19 the question ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’.
Schools can register to instantly gain access to curriculum-mapped teaching resources, links to engineers and plus we celebrate every single competition entry with a personalised graded certificate.
As a network of manufacturing companies from across Plymouth and surrounding areas, the PMG is passionate about promoting the manufacturing & engineering sector as an exciting career pathway for young people. And that is exactly what we are going to do across Devon and Cornwall with support from some of our member companies; Kawasaki PM, Rittal CSM, Aldermans, Motortronics, BD, Babcock, Centrax, HQW Aerospace, Lang & Potter, NOV, Pandrol, Plessey, Princess Yachts, and The Cornwall Bakery.
Lee Crocker, Chair of PMG and M.D and Chair of the Board at Kawasaki PM said “The PMG is delighted to be Primary Engineer’s regional partner for Devon and Cornwall and we are looking forward to working with the team over the year ahead. Nurturing and recruiting talent into manufacturing is critical for the continued long-term national and global success of our industry. This competition, in which some of our members will be directly supporting schools, is an excellent vehicle to creatively engage young people and bring awareness to all the opportunities that a career in engineering and manufacturing can bring. We can also show how much we, the employers, value these students and their bright minds, and they in turn can explore how welcoming, exciting, and diverse the sector can be for them.”
