Joining RoGEP
Join our community of experts to prove your competence
What is a Registered Ground Engineering Professional?
Registrants may be employed by consultants, contractors, public bodies, private sector organisations or be self employed. They are professionally qualified engineers or geologists who have been rigorously assessed for demonstrable experience and competence in dealing with ground engineering conditions, managing risk and developing solutions.
Why join?
Joining the Register of Ground Engineering Professionals (RoGEP) shows you have demonstrated ground engineering competences, as defined by the Site Investigation Steering Group (SISG) and other specifications, codes and standards, in addition to your professionally qualified status. Your advanced knowledge and expertise gained through experience provides clients, employers, peers and the public with the confidence that you have proven competence in your field that has been rigorously assessed.
Benefits

- Ground engineering capability and experience
- Compliance with specification and contract requirements
- An ability to understand and manage risks from the ground before a problem arises helping to avoid increased costs down the line
- A commitment to continuing professional development (CPD), including gaining an understanding of new or emerging ground engineering legislation and other relevant ground engineering matters
