The Register of Security Engineers and Specialists
The Register of Security Engineers & Specialists has been developed to promote excellence in the field of security engineering and provide a ready means for individuals to demonstrate competence in this discipline through independent assessment.
 Security engineering is defined as “the design and provision of protection for critical resources against attack, sabotage and theft in new and existing infrastructure”. The Register is sponsored by the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and is administered and operated by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
Categories of Registration
Registration is open to all engineers and applied scientists working in security at Chartered Engineer, Chartered Scientist, Incorporated Engineer and Technician grades. You do not have to be an ICE Member to apply.
The Register will admit candidates in the following categories:
General Security Advisor
OR
Specialist Security Advisor: A Weapons Effects
B Blast Effects
C Electronic Surveillance
D CBRN
E Vehicle Barriers
F Pedestrian Barriers
G Explosives Detection (to follow)
Within the above categories, candidates can be admitted to the Register at the notional indicative levels of Technician, Incorporated and Chartered, hereafter referred to as grades A, B or C respectively.
The categories will enable applicants to be matched with appropriate Reviewers.
When completing the application form applicants should indicate whether they wish to be admitted to the Register as a General Security Advisor (GSA) or a Specialist Security Advisor (SSA). If applying for entry as a SSA, applicants should indicate only one SSA category. Finally, they should indicate at which grade they wish to be reviewed (A,B or C). It should be noted that GSA applicants will only be admitted to the Register at grades B or C.
Operational Status
The Register is in the second stage of its formation with applications currently being sought from those practicing engineers and scientists who are deemed suitable by the Register's first tranche registrants.
Individuals are also invited to contact ICE in the first instance, via email to registers@ice.org.uk to express their interest.
Please check this page regularly for updates to the operational status.
