Institution of Plant Engineers

Operations Engineering covers a wide range of activities including acquisition and commissioning, inspection and maintenance, asset management and product improvement. Often, these are the engineering functions with the closest and most immediate impact on the customer or end user of the product or service. Customer expectations are continually rising, particularly in relation to reliability, safety, the environment and value for money. To meet and surpass these expectations requires standards of professional skill, knowledge and understanding, applied in conjunction with a code of conduct and ethics, and regularly updated through Continuous Professional Development. In promoting these requirements, the Society sees its members as intelligent customers with high expectations.

The Society of Operations Engineers is a Licensed Body of the Engineering Council. It is licensed to nominate candidates with the required qualifications and responsible experience to all three sections of the Engineering Council's register:

Engineering Technician (EngTech)
Incorporated Engineer (IEng)
Chartered Engineer (CEng)

While the academic requirements for these three sections differ considerably, so also do the requirements for related knowledge and practical skills. The Society recognises that the three categories of registrant are interdependent and equally important to the success of any engineering operation. 'Parity of esteem' between these categories is a key element in the Society's core values.
