Do I qualify?

Applicants must meet the following:

The applicant shall be a member of InstMC and shall be registered with the Engineering Council at IEng / CEng Level via InstMC or another UK-PEI.

N.B. It is recommended that any non- registered engineer wishing to apply for RExE should first seek registration as IEng / CEng.

Submit an extended CV with a specific focus on experience within Ex matters, together with a statement of competence & commitment.
Provide testament from a proposer and referee. Proposer should be a registered engineer.

We will check IEng / CEng registration.
Panel peer will review your submission.
Professional Review interview will follow. (Interview will only be undertaken if submission is considered at first sight to meet the criteria. Interview may be waived if demonstration is so comprehensive that the panel considers qualification to be self-evident.)

The qualification will stand as long as:

registration is maintained
the registrant abides by relevant PEI codes of conduct
a satisfactory CPD record is submitted every 3 years
there is no evidence conflicting with the presumption of continuing competence & commitment
the annual subscription fee is paid.
