ICE Northern Ireland's various committees and groups bring together like-minded people and give members the opportunity to increase their knowledge, get advice, and raise the profile and standard of civil engineering.
Regional committees and branches
ICE's work in Northern Ireland is carried out by the regional committee. It's made up of representatives throughout the region, and Graduates, Students and Apprentices committee members, and is supported by the Regional Support Team.
Committee members are volunteers and come from a range of backgrounds within the civil engineering profession.
Find out more about the committees and groups, including who's involved and how you can get in touch.
The Regional Committee is responsible for the work ICE does in Northern Ireland and meets six times a year.
It has appointed a Regional Executive Board (REB) to work with the regional director to plan its aims, activities, and budget.

Special interest groups
Special interest groups (SIGs) are a link between industry and ICE, helping us to provide information, training and best practice to our members. Members of SIGs are volunteers from a range of backgrounds within the profession.
If you would like to get involved with any of the SIGs in Northern Ireland, please contact the relevant chair.
The ICE Northern Ireland Commerce and Contracts group aims to promote a better understanding of contract conditions, the legal framework within which they operate and the management procedures needed to deliver projects successfully.
