The Engineering Council has noticed a marked increase in enquiries about registration for Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Engineering Technician (EngTech) status. Andrew Ramsay, Chief Executive of the Engineering Council, says “More and more engineers are turning to us, in the knowledge that we can help them gain an edge in this increasingly competitive job market."
“Engineering companies tell us that evidence of employing registered engineering professionals is a frequent requirement for the award of contracts both in the UK and internationally,” adds Andrew Ramsay. “So it is hardly surprising that those holding our professional qualifications generally find it easier to gain promotion or a new job.”
Significantly improving job security and career prospects, professional registration with the Engineering Council is achievable by any competent practising engineer, with different levels and pathways available.
To register for one of these prestigious qualifications, applicants need to join one of the 36 professional engineering institutions licensed by the Engineering Council to assess candidates. They will be required to demonstrate competence to perform professional work to the necessary standards, as well as show commitment to maintain their competence, work within professional codes and actively participate within the engineering profession.
