Keeping pace with our civilian counterparts through recognisable skills, competencies and qualifications has to be the main reason for ensuring you are professionally registered.
Bar the initial registration, membership is free (due to the Defence reimbursement process) and secured through a painless application process streamlined for all – so why wouldn’t you do it!
The SOE Military Committee is committed to driving engineering professionalism in-line with tri-Service policy. For those of you reading this that are already registered and professionally recognised, well done; if you are yet to do so, take my advice and start the process today.
As the military lead for the SOE, I encourage all officers and sailors, soldiers and airmen, if not already committed to an engineering institute, to pursue professional registration thereafter. Again, why wouldn’t you!
