He met all the requirements of the ICE’s Chartered Professional Review and is entitled to add the letters MICE to his name and adopt the Institution’s own protected title of ‘Chartered Civil Engineer’.
Joshua was presented with his membership certificate on Monday (19th) by ICE President Sir John Armitt (former Chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority) at a special ceremony held at ICE’s headquarters in Westminster.
ICE Regional Director for the East of England, Glen Own said: “Achieving Chartered Civil engineer status is a significant personal and career achievement and I welcome Joshua into the ICE.”
Joshua is a Sub Agent with BAM Nuttall Ltd at Thetford. Delighted at achieving Chartered status he said:
“I am the fourth generation of my family to become a Chartered engineer. I am honoured to join the Institution of Civil Engineers and it makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
ICE's professionally qualified grades of membership are internationally recognised and highly valued. Attainment is widely viewed as a significant achievement and a benchmark of an engineer's competence and professional standing.
Joshua said it took lots of hard work but is well worth it:
“I am dyslexic as many engineers seem to be so I found all the report writing tough especially after long days at work”
He went to Wymondham High School and the University of Warwick. But what made him choose a civil engineering career in the first place?
“I have always had a keen interest in engineering from a young age, often taking things apart to see how they work. As I got a bit older I became more interested in buildings, bridges and tunnels.”
“I have worked on a large number of RNLI Lifeboat Stations across the UK. These projects are often iconic structures and built in challenging marine locations. They test your ability as a Civil Engineer to deliver a project which is done safely, on time and on budget.”
ICE membership is available to civil engineers, technicians and technical/scientific specialists at every stage of their professional career, from students and apprentices to senior board directors. Further information is available at: www.ice.org.uk/Membership
