Structural engineering technicians are key members of design and construction teams. They use their technical skills to help ensure that all kinds of structures from buildings to bridges are designed and built safely and efficiently. Those who employ TIStructE technicians have the assurance of knowing that their employees have had their competence assessed, their credentials verified and their commitment to continuing professional development established. Technician Members are reliable, professional members of a design team, with a sound understanding of core structural engineering principles. Technician Members are experienced structural engineering technicians. If you are an experienced technician, it is never too late in your career to apply to join the Institution. Technician Members benefit from the full range of membership privileges. Youll also benefit from widened career opportunities. As a Technician Member, you may also enjoy formal recognition of your professional status by using the accreditation TIStructE. Additionally, you may gain further professional registration with ECUK and use the designation Eng Tech. Qualifying to become a Technician Member is straightforward.
