Technician Timeout: EngTech Professional Review – Attribute 7 ICE Code of Conduct

Overview

The number of people being recognised as professional, capable civil engineering technicians and members of the Institution of Civil Engineers has increased dramatically over the last 5 years.

The Institution of Civil Engineers is an independent professional association and a charitable body. It aims to support the civil engineering profession, in part, by liaising directly with industry. 

The local Kent and East Sussex branch of the ICE would like to continue to meet with the growing body of technician members and give more opportunities for Technicians to come together.

By establishing this link with local Technicians, we can continue to gather together online to discuss ways in which we can help ourselves, each other and the ICE to provide ongoing learning and experience in the wide world of civil engineering.

During these events, at each of the meetings, we would like to spend a short time discussing a theme to get the conversation going. 

These events are for the benefit of Technician Members (EngTech MICE/FICE) and technicians interested in becoming members from anywhere in the country.

This month’s session will be all about the ICE Code of Conduct which has been revised and relaunched in April 2026. There are subtle changes bringing the code into a more global world making it more accessible to international applicants.  

Also, sustainability is being lifted in importance to a similar level as health, safety and welfare.

These changes have been approved by the ICE Trustees and therefore will be applicable to all future EngTech Professional Review applications.

During this month’s session we will discuss the changes that have been made and how they can be interpreted at professional review.
