    The field of engineering has undergone significant evolution over the time. With the advent of newindustrial revolutions and the growing importance of sustainability, the skills necessary to excel as anengineer have changed drastically. To be a competent engineer in the future, and to achieve thepsychological wellbeing of a qualified and up-to-date professional, it is necessary to analyze potentialchanges that may occur in the field and adapt one's skills accordingly. Engineers can stay ahead of thecurve and remain relevant in an ever-changing landscape, only by anticipating and preparing forfuture developments as well as foreseeing the future skills needs. In order to address the need ofidentifying the future skill requirements for engineers, in this work, we created a skills database with astrong focus on sustainability. This database not only integrates current skills, but also foresees andestablishes the skills related to sustainability, which will be needed in the future. For this aim, webenefited from the ESCO database for selecting the engineering job profiles related to sustainabilityas well as the current skills needs of the engineers. On the other hand, we conducted a detailed deskresearch in order to analyse and identify the future skills needs for the selected engineering jobprofiles. The aim of our work is to address the lack of a skills database specifically designed for theengineering field in relation to sustainability. The database is intended to provide end -users withinformation on new skill requirements that may arise from future changes, such as industrial andsustainable shifts.
