The Experienced Civil Engineer Pathway is intended to provide an alternative option for potential members who are operating within the Civil Engineering industry in a capacity where they oversee and are responsible for the work undertaken by ICE’s professionally qualified members.
Benefits
- The pathway allows experienced engineers to prepare for their professional review in their time rather than being dependant on the ICE timelines
- Becoming a member entitles you to a wide range of benefits to support your civil engineering career
- You are able to prepare a single competency report rather than the two experience and project reports
- The competency report and your demonstration of experience looks at the Attributes rather then the Development Objective, which may have been achieved as part of your earlier career
