society of operations engineers
The Society, through its specific professional engineering sectors, promotes
safe, efficient, sustainable and ethical engineering operations to the benefit
of society. Vision A united organisation of engineering disciplines that is the
preferred professional body and recognised authority for those engaged in
engineering operations, in particular road transport, plant, engineer surveying
and environmental engineering. The Society of Operations Engineers serves 16,000
qualified professionals in over 40 countries worldwide. Our members inspect,
maintain, and manage the machinery and equipment which keeps society
functioning; it could be an escalator in a shopping centre, a modern biomass
plant generating renewable energy for homes, or the HGV and bus fleets which
keep economies and people moving. The safe and sustainable operation of all
these essential functions fall under the remit of professional operations
engineers. As one of 35 Professional Engineering Institutions (PEI) in the UK,
SOE has the responsibility to support individuals and organisations to operate
in safe working environments, using modern practices, in a technically
proficient way. We are licensed by both Engineering Council and Society for the
Environment and use our remit from them to improve the careers of our members
and the wider engineering community.
