Am I Eligible for CEng Without a Master’s? – 16 Years in Wastewater Sector and 13 Years post degree experience

Hi all,

I’m looking for some advice regarding my eligibility for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration through the IET.

I’ve been working in the wastewater sector for the past 16 years, with 13 years of post-degree experience. In January 2024, I was promoted to a Senior Technical Officer role, where I now manage and supervise complex engineering works, lead teams, liaise with public and private stakeholders, and oversee procurement and project execution.

Although I hold a Bachelor’s degree in engineering and not a Master’s, I’ve been taking on responsibilities at a level I believe aligns with CEng competence requirements.

Would my extensive experience and current role be sufficient to meet the academic and professional requirements for CEng, or would I first need to complete further academic study?

Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

  • it's about the job you do, not the pieces of paper you hold. somebody better informed than me will have the statistics, but more people get CEng without MEng than with it. colleagues of mine have achieved CEng with no formal qualification higher than an HNC
