Becoming a CEng has been a goal since my time at university because it signifies professional recognition and excellence in the field. It also reflects a commitment to continuous development and the highest standard of engineering.
EngTech status recognises my competency and validated my skills and expertise. Registration will also allow me to work towards becoming an incorporated engineer after completing my university degree and help with my future career ambitions.
Having professional registration provides another indicator of experience or competence, other than rank, which can help when engaging with engineers at varying levels. When I work in command roles, being a visible member of the IMechE has encouraged personnel to ask for help with their own registration journeys or help with their career development.

The greatest benefit being linked to the Engineering Council on the register and being recognised as an engineering professional by others in the fire sector and within the building and construction professions.
My professional registrations have vested on me, the responsibility to operate within regulatory and ethical frameworks. Professional registration shapes and reshapes a person, and I always emphasise that the young engineers aspiring to registration should consider this fact with utmost responsibility.
My employer benefits from my professional registration as they are fully aware that I meet set standards and can work competently and to a high ethical standard.
Chartered status is a common requirement from clients for senior positions on projects, so being a CEng makes me more sought-after.
