Holding Multiple Charterships: The Facts – and the Benefits
Sarah Ridgeon, Policy and Communications Officer at the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) discusses the benefits of holding Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) alongside Chartered Building Engineer and Chartered Engineer (CEng). The Value of Charterships
As a member of CABE you understand the important role Charterships have in demonstrating your professional expertise and knowledge. By becoming a Chartered Building Engineer ‘the Gold Standard’, you demonstrate that you are working at the highest possible standard as a Building Engineer. Being a Chartered Member not only benefits you, but also your employer and the profession and proves your skills, knowledge and experience to your clients and the wider public. I am already a Chartered Member of CABE – can I apply for CEnv?
Quite simply – yes. As long as you meet all the necessary competences and requirements you can apply for CEnv. You can even hold CEnv alongside CEng.
The value of additional Charterships is such that having restrictions on holding multiple Charterships simultaneously wouldn’t make sense. Being a CEnv as well as CEng, to use just one example, showcases that a professional has wide-ranging skills, with expertise in engineering and environmental and sustainability matters. The Benefits
Many professionals across sectors hold CEnv alongside other Charterships, and report benefits from doing so.
Here is the view of Clare Rodgers FCIWEM C.WEM CEnv CSci, Operational Unit Manager – North East at the Environment Agency, on her experience of being both a Chartered Environmentalist and a Chartered Scientist:
“Being both a CEnv and CSci means that I am able to simultaneously demonstrate myinterest and expertise in sustainability, water management and the environmental sciences. Holding these Charterships, both widely recognised and respected qualifications, has also given me more opportunities to expand my knowledge, develop my skills and build relationships. Being Chartered is increasingly cited as a requirement for applications and proposals and holding CEnv and CSci means that I cover more areas of expertise, opening up more opportunities."
CABE and CEnv
Chartered Members of CABE are encouraged to consider applying for additional registrations and Charterships with SocEnv and the Engineering Council.
But if you are not ready to apply for Chartered Environmentalist, then take a look at becoming a Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech) or a Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP) and start your journey towards Chartered Environmentalist.
