ENGINEERING COUNCIL ANNUAL SURVEY
The Engineering Council’s regular survey of registered professional engineers and technicians, which provides a statistically valid snapshot of the state of employment and employment benefits among professionally registered engineers and technicians, will be published this month.
Last year’s report showed a downward trend in the total number of registered engineers and technicians, observed over the past few years had levelled out in 2012. In the past five years there have been a year on year increase in new registrants, whilst last year the numbers lapsing their registration also decreased.
The largest growth in new registrants last year was seen at technician level, where there was a 21.5% increase in the number of new Engineering Technicians (EngTechs) compared to 2011. In fact, over the past five years new EngTech registrations have increased by 132.3% which is
pleasing for the Professional Engineering Institutions that have been promoting technician registration. New Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Chartered Engineer (CEng) registrations also show a steady rise.
Last year Jon Prichard, CEO of the Engineering Council, urged caution, saying: “The challenge for the coming years remains one of making sure that the UK retains sufficient highly skilled and professionally registered engineers and technicians to meet the needs of the future. To achieve this, we must continue to focus on growing the pipeline of potential engineers and technicians whilst ensuring that they subsequently progress
to professional membership with an appropriate institution. We also need to pay equal attention to the retention of registered members for the whole of their working lives. This is especially important, given that 39.88% of registrants are aged 60 and over, which could lead to a future shortage of engineers with the competence and commitment necessary to meet society’s needs.’
