Helping engineers on their professional journey is hugely rewarding and a vital role for the institution. You can support trainees in your organisation successfully through to professional qualification.
You can support trainees in your organisation successfully through to professional qualification.
The role
As a supervising civil engineer, or delegated engineer, you will be a role model and mentor to trainees and will:
- Help trainees to join your company's ICE Training Scheme
- Identify learning and development opportunities for your trainees
- Review and sign off their experience and appraisals
Supervising civil engineers and delegated engineers are expected to attend training at least once every two years. And we expect you to set an example to your trainees in terms of professional standards, particularly for CPD.
Watch our SCE/DE/Mentor videos to help understand the roles.
For those in companies without an ICE Training Scheme, you can become a mentor and help trainees, in your own or another company, through Mentor-Supported Training for IPD. To become a mentor, you attend a formal briefing where you be briefed and supported by an ICE Membership Development Officer. If successful, you can start mentoring a trainee through their initial professional development.
