The benefits of registering with the Engineering Council as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Engineering Technician (EngTech) or Information and Communications Technology Technician (ICTTech) include:

  • Identifying you as having competences that employers value
  • Indicating that your competence and commitment to professionalism have been assessed by other engineering professionals
  • Demonstrating that your competence may be compared with standards applicable in other parts of the world
  • Confirming that your commitment to professionalism is underwritten by the support of a national engineering institution or society licensed by the Engineering Council
  • International recognition of your qualifications.

As a result, registrants often find that:        

  • It is easier to gain promotion or a new job
  • Their pay compares favourably with non-registered engineers and increasingly against other qualified professionals
  • They have greater influence within their organisation and industry
  • Their engineering credentials are respected in most parts of the world
  • They have access to a network of similarly qualified and experienced experts in their field - through their Institution
  • Their employers benefit as increasingly, tendering or post-tender contract compliance requires key members of the project team to have professional registration. 

Institution membership offers additional benefits including:

  • Access to continuous professional development
  • Networking
  • Information - including a magazine, library facility and on-line resources
  • Careers advice and employment opportunities
  • Legal help lines
