Communications engineer: Career development

During the course of your career, you will be required to undertake further training to update your existing knowledge and skills, to acquire additional skills in other areas, and to develop your role. As your career progresses, you may take on a more senior role, with greater responsibility.

Achieving professional status as an engineer is seen as increasingly important. Engineers with professional status are likely to pursue roles at a more senior level. If you do not want to be involved in management, you can develop your technical knowledge and become a specialist, start your own company, get involved in training or work as a contractor.

Once you are an accredited CEng, you will be eligible to apply for European Engineer (Eur Ing) status, which provides Europe-wide recognition. This, along with language skills, will be a great advantage in the increasingly global marketplace in which engineers operate.
