The Chartered Environmentalist qualification is now the recognised standard of excellence for environmental practitioners. To be awarded the status practitioners must be able to demonstrate competence against key criteria including the ability to analyse and evaluate problems from an environmental perspective and being able to demonstrate leadership in sustainable management and development.
Phillippa Pearson, catchment water quality risk manager, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Ashley Moule, capital projects engineer, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water and Lorraine Gillan, drinking water regulation officer, Northern Ireland Water are the latest Institute of Water members to have successfully been registered as Chartered Environmentalists.
Moule said: “Becoming a Chartered Environmentalist is by no means the end for me, but the catalyst and beginning of me setting myself some new long term goals.As I proceed along this journey I will continue to encourage those who may only consider themselves engineers, to broaden their horizons and consider becoming a Chartered Environmentalist, as it is their decisions that will have an impact upon our future generations’ environment.”
Speaking about the importance of this qualification, Institute of Water chief executive, Lynn Cooper, said: “CEnv denotes sound knowledge, proven experience and a profound commitment to sustainable best practice.
“It is the Chartered Environmentalists, working in all aspects of the water environment, including regulation, academia and national agencies, who will take a leading role in delivering the aspiration of a more sustainable world. It is important that the water industry embraces this qualification, so the Institute is very proud to have registered these three members.”
