The Institute of Water, the UK’s only professional body solely dedicated to supporting the careers of people working in the UK water industry, is waiving its usual £168 professional review fee for visitors to the International Water and Effluent Exhibition.
According to the Engineering Council, there has been a marked increase in demand for professional registration and, given the economic climate, the Institute of Water is now aiming to help more engineers to progress in their careers.
“Becoming registered is an increasingly important career move for engineers,” said the Institute of Water’s chief executive, Lynn Cooper.
“Not only does registration improve job security and career prospects, but average salaries are much higher than those of non-registered engineers. The difference can be as much as 40% for a 45-year-old.
“The Institute of Water is dedicated to supporting the careers of people working at all levels across the industry. We have already simplified the process for applying to be registered as an Engineering Technician which has removed the professional review fee. Given the pressures of the current economic climate we are removing the financial barrier for Incorporated and Chartered Engineers.”
The Institute of Water will be providing expert advice on the application process to visitors at IWEX and interested engineers will be given a promotional code to claim their free professional review. To register with the Engineering Council, the candidate will need to become a member of the Institute of Water.
