Engineering Council

In November 2018 the Engineering Council signed a cooperation agreement with the Ordem dos Engenheiros (OE, the Order of Engineers) to facilitate the mobility of engineering professionals between the UK and Portugal.

This agreement recognises substantial equivalence between the standard and assessment processes for the OE title of Senior Engineer (level 2) and the Engineering Council title of Chartered Engineer (CEng). It therefore seeks to minimise duplication in granting access to the respective membership institutions and national registers.

UK engineering professionals seeking registration in Portugal should contact the Ordem dos Engenheiros for further details. Portuguese engineering professionals should contact international@engc.org.or the relevant Professional Engineering Institution (PEI) for their discipline.

The agreement is available on the Engineering Council Partner Portal
