SOE members keen to influence the Society and the wider engineering community are encouraged to apply for one of the positions on the Trustee Board and PSCs.

Electronic voting

Both trustees and PSC members determine the strategic direction of the Society and are crucial to the progress we make in the years ahead. If you think you could help SOE move forward in a challenging engineering environment, we would urge you to put yourself forward for one of these positions. 

Members, Fellows, and Honorary Fellows are invited to stand for the following positions: 

Trustee Board 

Two vacancies

Professional Sector Councils 

PSC members are not directors or trustees of SOE, but assist their respective Professional Sector through their time and expertise. PSC members are required to commit to approximately four days per year to attend meetings. Applicants possessing experience at a senior level are sought for in one or more of the following: 

IRTE 

No vacancies

IPlantE 

Three vacancies 

The IPlantE PSC is seeking members with a background in engineering and appropriate experience and interest in all aspects of plant engineering. 

BES 

Three vacancies 

The BES PSC is seeking members involved with statutory plant examinations and inspections who would be willing to mentor engineer surveyors. 

 

SOE’s elections process uses the single transferable vote. Voting is open to all SOE corporate members whose subscriptions are up-to-date, and members may only vote within the PSCs to which they belong. 

In order to stand for election, members need to nominate themselves and provide the names of two corporate members of SOE as proposers and seconders. The deadline to receive nominations is Friday 19 April 2019.
