Career prospects for engineers in the water industry are being boosted by an offer of free professional registration to CEng, IEng or EngTech status.  This generous incentive is provided by the Institute of Water, which is waiving its usual £164.50 professional registration fee for applications received before 30 June.

"Becoming registered is an increasingly important career move for engineers," said the Institute of Water's chief executive, Lynn Cooper.  "The Institute of Water is dedicated to supporting the careers of people working at all levels across the industry and has made this offer in recognition of the challenges many engineers face given the current economic climate."

Michael Fowle, the Institute of Water's vice president engineering added: "In today's business environment the achievement of engineering registration makes sense for both employers and employees.  For the individual, recognition of achievements is particularly satisfying and in a market where many jobs are at risk, registration makes an individual more employable and again can be a differentiator.

"I have been a Chartered Engineer for 34 years and was one of the first to transfer my registration to the Institute of Water.

"Water engineering is an essential part of tackling climate change and thus the need for water engineers is as great as ever. The registration service provided by the Institute of Water is of great benefit to the industry."
