Qualifications and training required

There are routes into a career in structural engineering for both university graduates and school leavers.

Graduates will need a degree in civil or structural engineering accredited by the Institution of Structural Engineers. You can then obtain one of two recognised professional qualifications with the Institution of Structural Engineers. You can apply for incorporated engineer (IEng) status with a BEng, or charted engineer (CEng) status if you graduated with a BEng plus a masters, or an MEng. Both titles will help career prospects, but chartered engineers are often of greater value to employers.

You then need to complete period of vocational training with an accredited employer, as well as a professional review, before you can obtain either of these titles. For more information, see our article on achieving chartered status.

Relevant work experience will boost your graduate application. Many employers offer sponsorship, vacation work and ‘year out’ placements which can provide valuable contacts and a useful insight into the profession. Read our guide to getting work experience within the construction industry.

To find out about how you can get into this career via a school leaver route (eg an apprenticeship or school leaver training programme) see the construction and property sector of TARGETcareers, our website aimed at school leavers, and particularly our article on civil and structural engineering.
