The CEA has become a membership partner of the ImechE, which will help CEA members to strengthen engineering teams


The Construction Equipment Association (CEA) has become an official Membership Partner of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). This collaboration is a milestone in the CEA’s commitment to advancing standards and investing in the future of engineering across the construction equipment sector.  

The IMechE Membership Partner scheme is designed for organisations committed to the professional development and recognition of their engineering and technical teams. By joining the scheme, the CEA supports its member companies and their employees with access to expert guidance, professional development resources, and a clearly defined path to professional registration — from apprentices to Chartered Engineers.  

This partnership presents an opportunity for CEA members to strengthen  engineering teams, improve retention and recruitment, and align with internationally recognised standards of engineering excellence. It also reflects the CEA’s commitment to driving a culture of innovation, learning, and continuous improvement within the UK construction equipment industry.  

Through the Membership Partner programme, engineers and technical staff within member organisations will have access to support from the IMechE. This includes personalised advice, workshops, webinars, and practical assistance, with many resources included as part of the partnership. Whether an individual is an apprentice, a recent graduate, or an experienced engineer, the programme provides structured and accessible support at every stage.  

The programme also supports a clear pathway to Professional Registration and ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development), helping engineers maintain and improve their skills in a structured and recognised way throughout their careers.   

“Partnering with the IMechE is about making sure our industry stays ahead,” said Viki Bell, Chief Executive of the CEA. “Too often, the technical expertise and innovation within our sector go under the radar – especially in small and medium-sized businesses where engineers wear many hats and make a huge impact. This partnership gives our members and their teams a clear pathway to professional recognition and support at every stage, from apprentices just starting out to senior engineers ready to become Chartered.
