IChemE has four grades of membership, each giving you professional support and a range of services whatever level you work at within the chemical, biochemical and process profession. IChemE is licensed by Royal Charter to award the qualification Chartered Chemical Engineer.
As a Fellow you are an engineering professional of distinction, making significant contribution to your profession. You demonstrate technical excellence and leadership of your peers.
Achieving Fellowship is about recognition of your employment in an important position of responsibility in chemical engineering for a sufficient period:
All candidates must nominate two IChemE Corporate Member referees at least one of which should be a Fellow. Your referees must be able to attest to your contribution to the profession and your professional status in the last five years.
You may also name a non-corporate member if they have information not available to your main referees. Please note, however, your application will not be more highly regarded simply because it is supported by more than two persons.
If you do not have two IChemE Corporate Member referees, this should not delay your application, contact the Membership Department who will assist you in identifying appropriate candidates.
For more information about achieving Fellowship or for an application pack please contact the Membership Department, telephone: + 44 01788 578214.
