Ipswich engineer awarded ICE membership

Ipswich civil engineer Joseph Palmer, has been awarded membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

ICE membership can be awarded to a wide range of engineers practising in the broad area of civil engineering.

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.

Joseph works for MLM consulting engineers in London Road, Ipswich. As as a busy working civil engineer it was a challenge finding time to prepare his submission and of course he is thrilled to have gained ICE membership.  He said it has given him “a sense of achievement and consolidation of my professional experience.”

But what made him choose civil engineering?

“I fell into civil engineering and found the profession offers a vast wealth of different roles and opportunities in many different fields. A lot of the behind the scenes work I am involved in is vital to ensuring the safe operation and use of major transport infrastructure in the UK.”

Glen Owen, ICE East of England Regional Director, welcomed Joseph to ICE:

“Achieving ICE membership is a significant personal and career achievement. Civil engineering is an important engineering discipline sitting right at the heart of society. It is all about creating, improving and protecting the infrastructure that we all depend on in our day-to-day lives – from bridges, roads and railways right through to energy networks and water and waste infrastructure. The 2012 Olympic venues and surrounding infrastructure is a showcase for the work of our civil engineers.”

The opportunity to join ICE 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.
