    Lee Berrey:

     Their may be no direct evidence that EC registration gets you a higher pay, but I personally believe your better off with it than without it when fighting for a higher pay.




    I forgot to add - I think this sentence is really well put! And also probably true for getting your CV through the sorting stage.


    And although I have come across recruiting managers that really don't like to see it (the ones that see us all as old-boys-club stick-in-the-muds who should be pensioned off) I don't think even they would actually reject a good CV which had CEng / IEng on. So on balance my feeling it's either going to help (possibly quite a lot) or be neutral.


    Any more stories / experiences from anyone would be very welcome!


    Thanks,


    Andy


     






    Andy,


    The post was an electrical designer/engineer (mostly building services and infrastructure). The vast majority of the companies work was either infrastructure design, or working with architects. Where I live, many firms are joint architects and engineers under one roof - and they have a strong preference, sometimes mandatory requirement, for EC registration at IEng or CEng level.


    I was unaware of this whilst working with my current employer for the past 9 years, until last year I decided to look outside to see what was around and learnt about this the hard way. Thankfully im only 30, and im hoping to have obtained IEng before I turn 31 and can start looking for outside opportunities.


    Lee.
