“This exciting new designation is a significant milestone for CICES because it is the first time in the institution’s 56-year history that members have the opportunity to use the title Chartered Civil Engineering Surveyor. Civil engineering surveyors do incredibly vital work here in the UK and globally, and this new designation recognises their valuable contributions to the profession.
“Beyond individual achievement, we believe this designation will further raise the profile of civil engineering surveyors and inspire the next generation, whether they’re just starting or pursuing a new career in this field. We very much look forward to continuing our work alongside colleagues at RICS.”
RICS CEO, Justin Young, said:
“Civil engineering surveyors play a crucial role in the built environment, and it is right that their expertise is recognised with a specific chartered title. This partnership demonstrates the growing collaboration between RICS and other professional bodies for the good of the profession, of which CICES is among our most important partners.
“Chartered Membership is the Gold Standard for the industry. It recognises that the professional is committed to adhering to the highest standard. Chartership supports and expands professionalisation and means better outcomes for consumers. They play a crucial role in the built environment, ensuring property and construction projects are safe, compliant, and accurately valued.
“I congratulate those professionals who will soon carry the Chartered Civil Engineering Surveyor designation and look forward to growing our relationship with CICES further.”
