Overview

Rachel Hayden, senior chartered civil engineer at WSP, will host this panel session with Matt Raymen and Alex Buley. 

Having both recently become professionally qualified as chartered civil engineers, Matt and Alex will reflect on reaching this milestone and offer personal perspectives on going through the ICE chartership process.

The discussion will cover:

  • Report writing
  • Working through IPD online
  • Preparing final reports
  • Applications & interviews
  • Written communication task

Having completed his IEng review, Matt will also reflect on taking the progressive route to becoming professionally qualified. 

This is a great session for anyone wanting to find out more about the route to ICE chartership, as well as those currently working towards their IEng or CEng reviews. 

Bring your questions to the session and make the most of this opportunity to learn from the experiences of two recently chartered civil engineers.

Matt has been working as a Bridge Engineer since graduating from Cardiff University in 2019. Throughout his career, he has focused primarily on bridge inspections and assessments. His work with both rail and highway bridges provided the necessary experience to successfully complete his IEng review in 2022.
