This seminar demonstrates a range of concepts, approaches and tools to assist with developing mentoring skills to promote the progress of engineers through to chartership.

IChemE recognise and believe that there are significant benefits in learning from the perspective and experience of other Chartered Engineers who have completed the same journey.

The positive aspects of becoming a mentor are many, supporting new recruits and junior engineers, guiding colleagues towards Chartered status, and help senior engineers undergoing changes in job roles and responsibilities.

Benefits of mentoring includes the chance to give back and to help colleagues with the satisfaction that you have helped a fellow engineer on their career path. Mentoring provides opportunities to develop a new skills and to reflect on your own experiences from a different perspective providing the prospect to learn from the next generation of Chemical Engineers.

Neil is a Chemical Engineering graduate of the University of Bradford and commenced his career designing, project engineering and commissioning gaseous emissions and aqueous effluent treatment equipment. He then moved to a Phenolics chemical production site where he implemented new projects and carried out plant troubleshooting on a wide range of processes involving hazardous chemicals and processing conditions, becoming Lead Process Engineer on a significant processing plant expansion for the whole phenolics production train at the site.

Neil then moved into engineering consultancy, initially as a Senior Process Engineer and progressing through to Project Manager, as well as managing the GSA Manchester office. Neil worked on a wide range of diverse projects from distillation column design through to projects such as a Gas AGI Upgrade Project, an onshore gas facility FEED study, a fuel oil storage and blending project for a large UK power station and a FEED study for a coke stream metals extraction and recovery plant for a large Venezuelan Refinery. He became Engineering Director of a small independent engineering consultancy developing and growing the business and managing process engineering studies and process safety projects. He then joined OSL, initially as a lead process engineer on UK projects and became Chief Process Engineer, responsible for all OSL Process Engineering and Process Safety activities and managing all of the process engineers at OSL Consulting.
