Get involved

The North West Member Group always welcomes help from members offering their expertise and time in promoting IChemE activity in the North West, no matter how little or late.

Members can:

  • enhance your professional standing in the world of work
  • share your career roadmap
  • give a presentation
  • share your experience as an engineer
  • liaise with local schools to interest young people in chemical engineering
  • organise events - from large scale conferences to local social evenings
  • participate on the committee.

IChemE member group activities provide an excellent opportunity to give back to the local engineering community and develop your own skills at the same time. All involvement will help to build an IChemE community in the North West, support members facing challenges and encourage us all to become the world class chemical engineers of the future.
