Professional Engineering TechnologistPr Tech Eng

The technologist category is described against broadly-defined engineering problems and activities. Evidence must match that problem category rather than the complex-problem category.

What we can and cannot say about this category

  • Broadly-defined problem category.

Stages we support

  • Candidate

    Building a record as you work, with a mentor.

  • Experienced applicant

    Turning years of existing work into a structured account.

  • Registered, doing CPD

    Keeping continuing development organised after registration.

Evidence template

What a candidate on this pathway typically needs to gather. This is Pr-ed's working template, not a council checklist.

  • Training and experience record signed by your supervisor
  • Technology application report in your own words
  • Evidence of applied methods and standards
  • Referee details covering the period claimed

Preparation themes

The themes your spoken accounts should eventually cover between them.

  • Recognising a broadly-defined problem
  • Applying established technology correctly
  • Adapting methods within known limits
  • Risk, safety and legal duties
  • Professional and ethical conduct

Extra questions we ask on this pathway

Added after the nine core questions, tailored to this kind of work.

  • Which calculations, analyses or models did you perform yourself, and how did you check them?
  • Where did you have to apply engineering judgement because the codes or data did not settle it?

Mentor requirements

  • Mentor registered in a comparable or higher category

Mentor coverage for this pathway is proposed and needs Pr-ed confirmation.
