SOE tops poll for fourth year
Following the publication of the Engineering Council’s end of year registration statistics, SOE (Society of Operations Engineers) again registered more members at EngTech (Engineering Technician) level than any other engineering institution.
The organisation works tirelessly with companies, operators, colleges and training providers nationwide to give often overlooked engineering professionals recognition for their vital work.
SOE represents some 16,000 engineering professionals from the road transport, plant and engineer surveying sectors and members include engineers from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the rail industry, as well as apprenticeship providers. SOE promotes best practice, and affords members numerous benefits, whilst encouraging and developing their careers.
SOE Professional Standards Manager Paul Bayly believes the engineering profession must remember apprentices and technicians are crucial to every success. He said: “By supporting this crucial element within engineering, SOE aims to promote a future that can rise to the challenges facing the industry.”
SOE Business Development Manager Will Reeves said: “Many of SOE’s Industry and Academic Partners are reaping the rewards of having their engineers associated with SOE. We consider ourselves the ‘home of EngTech’ and are committed to assisting new and experienced engineers gain professional recognition. Members’ achievement in attaining EngTech status is a tribute to their competence and SOE is thrilled to have contributed to their development.”
Andrew Ramsay, Chief Executive of the Engineering Council added: “We would like to congratulate SOE for supporting the registration of an impressive number of EngTech registrants for the fourth consecutive year. This accomplishment is proof of SOE’s strong commitment to the professional development of its members, from the time they join the engineering industry through to their establishment as highly skilled members of the profession.”
