What our members say

I plan to become chartered with ICE and am currently on a training scheme at work. It’s good to know that my employer recognises how important professional qualification is. It shows that you're a well-rounded engineer because it needs technical, commercial and legal knowledge. You also need an understanding of the health and safety and sustainability parts of your work.

Emily Bonner, GMICE Structural engineer

I joined ICE because I wanted international professional recognition. Being a graduate member gives me the opportunity to be mentored so I can qualify as an MICE member. It also gives me a sense of belonging to a community of engineers across the world.

Ishmael Paul Otoo, GMICE Civil/structural engineer

As an ICE Graduate Member, the ICE provides a support structure to achieve my career goals. I have the opportunity to connect with peers across disciplines through seminars and events that grow my network and support my professional success.
