EngTech reviews take place in London
- Friday April 25, 2025
IHE’s most recent cohort of applicants for engineering technician were assessed by an expert panel of professional reviewers (pictured left – Simon Bennett, Nick Newton, Ellie Gormley and Bill Tinsley – Engineering Council rep) during a visit to our London office in March.
Engineering technician (EngTech) is the most appropriate grade of professional registration for practitioners in areas such as highways maintenance, temporary traffic management and reinstatements including markings and linings. It is also suitable for practitioners working in office-based roles such as CAD technicians, the application and administration of Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders and contract administration.
Many will have a BTEC Level 3 (or equivalent) or SCQF Level 6 equivalent qualification. Others will have gained the necessary skills, knowledge and experience through a non-academic route because of their practical experience in the highways industry.
To gain Engineering Council registration, engineers and technicians prove their competence and commitment in a professional review of their portfolio submission to the IHE.
To get started, read the guidance document, which can be found on the IHE website under professional registration.
Benefits of achieving EngTech include:
- tangible evidence to your employer and potential employers of your proven competence as a professional technician • recognition by the worldwide engineering community
- ongoing career progression, as you establish your professional credentials within the industry
- the use of the EngTech MIHE post nominals after your name
- an advantage over those who have no professional registration
- an important stepping stone in the process to becoming IEng for CEng.
The IHE appreciates the work of our volunteer professional reviewers for all levels of professional registration.
