Especially coupled with the recent flurry of bank holidays that have kept us out of the office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the fact that candidate registrations have increased suggests that many engineering professionals are preparing to look for their next role ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you\u2019re ready to take the next step in your career \u2013 don\u2019t wait!
