The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE) is calling on ambitious engineers to strive for CEng status, in a bid to increase the numbers of highly skilled and qualified professionals in the more specialised industry roles.
Kevin Wellman, chief executive of the CIPHE, said: “Driving up skill, education and professional standards, while also showing individuals that they can achieve academic and professional recognition at the highest of levels, can only bring good to our industry.
“We need to encourage talent at the top. In the face of Brexit, it’s increasingly important to have a strong engineering skills base in those specialist roles. Boosting the numbers of CEng qualified individuals benefits our industry now and creates positive role models for the next generation who may not realise the diverse number of career paths available to them.”
As a licensed professional body, the CIPHE can register suitably qualified members at Engineering Technician, Incorporated Engineer, and Chartered Engineer levels. To find out more, contact the membership department at: membership@ciphe.org.uk or phone: 01708 472791.
