Webinar | Professional registration in science, engineering and the environment
Join us in October for a special collaborative webinar exploring the value of professional registration across engineering, science and environmental professions.
Hear from three registered professionals with backgrounds in engineering, the environment, and science about their experiences of professional registration, including how it has supported their careers, professional development and wider goals.
This first-ever collaboration between the Engineering Council, Science Council and Society for the Environment brings together perspectives from across the professions to explore what professional registration can offer and whether it could support your own goals.
What to expect
Our registrant-led panel will share their personal experiences and perspectives.
Whether you are considering professional registration, are already working towards it, or simply want to hear from others who have taken that step, this webinar offers an opportunity to learn from their experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you.

"Professional registration gave me a framework to grow with intention. It has shaped not just how I practise engineering, but how I lead and think about the profession's future."
Dr James Fox PhD CSci
James is the Head of Technical Operations for the departments of Biology, Health Science and the Hull York Medical School at the University of York. He first became professionally registered at Registered Scientist level in 2016 and as his career progressed, he moved to Chartered Scientist in 2020. He is a registration champion for the Science Council, a registration mentor for his employer and for the University Bioscience Managers Association as well as a registration assessor for the Science Council and Institute of Science and Technology.
"Becoming professionally registered in 2016 helped me "stand out" from others for the new role that I was applying for at the time. Since becoming registered, it has opened up new networking and development opportunities, and I am a passionate advocate for others to become registered!"

Aya Youssef is a Senior Environmental Consultant at Mott MacDonald, with experience in environmental management and sustainability across major water infrastructure projects in Qatar. Her work focuses on integrating environmental compliance, resource efficiency and sustainability practices into project delivery and operation. She is also a PhD candidate at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, researching climate resilience within the water–energy nexus, with a particular interest in translating systems thinking and research into practical infrastructure solutions.
"Professional registration is important because it provides a recognised benchmark of competence, professional responsibility and commitment to continued development. For environmental professionals, this is particularly significant as environmental decisions increasingly influence engineering, infrastructure, resource security and climate resilience."
