Use your professional skills to serve communities and the Church around the world.

Explore staff opportunities across design, construction, and administration — locally and internationally.

Staff make up the core of EMI, participating in and leading design & construction projects, as well as managing and supporting various programmes. We trust God to provide committed individuals and families who will live out EMI’s mission and express our core values of Design, Discipleship, and Diversity as EMI staff.

Candidates for EMI Staff must trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, live a vibrant Christian life, and agree to EMI’s Belief Statement. In order to express our Discipleship core value, we expect that staff candidates are involved in Christian discipleship helping others grow as disciples of Jesus.

The level of professional experience & credentials required vary depending on the position and need. Long term staff roles are typically reserved for people who are self-sufficient in their roles and able to lead and develop others in those roles. If you are early in your career (<3-5 years of experience), you might consider our internship and fellowship programmes.

Note that most roles require a willingness and ability to raise financial support to fund 100% of your salary and ministry costs. Exceptions may apply in cases of full or partial stipends. See posts for specific position information.

“I quite honestly fell in love with the work EMI was doing. I realized I didn't have to choose between engineering and missions. I could use the profession God had given me to help ministries continue to thrive.
