Affiliate
If you work in the process industries – energy, chemicals, contracting, pharmaceuticals, food, water and much more – or you sell to, or buy from, such a company then you depend, to a greater or lesser extent, on chemical, biochemical or process engineering. The better-informed you are, the better your networks and contacts, the stronger you’ll be as a business and as an individual. That’s why you should be an Affiliate member of IChemE.
More Info and to Apply
Perhaps you manage or hire chemical engineers, or engage them as contractors? You need to be familiar with the skills pipeline, how to recruit and retain the right talent in a competitive market, and how to make the most of your engineers for your business. As an IChemE Affiliate member, you’ll be well placed to achieve those ends.
And if you’re in none of those categories, but just have an interest in a field of science and engineering that can contribute more than most to addressing some of the world’s key challenges – clean water, better health, greener lifestyles and ways to mitigate climate change – then we’ll welcome you as an Affiliate member.

More Info and to Apply
What experience do I need?
Achieving Fellowship is about recognition of your employment in an important position of responsibility in chemical engineering for a sufficient period:
- An ‘important position of responsibility’ is a level very much greater than the requirement for Chartership. You will be expected to have personal responsibility for decisions involving substantial resources and their consequences.
- A ‘sufficient period' is typically a minimum of 5 years working at this high level.
- You can view profiles of recently elected Fellows here to gain an idea of the level you should be working at.
In the first instance we suggest candidates download the Fellow Guidance Notes for detailed information on the criteria for the Fellow grade.
What evidence do I need to submit?
- CV/Résumé
- Organisation chart showing your current position
- Details of at least two IChemE Chartered Chemical Engineers who are willing to act as your referees and that at least one is in the class of Fellow
Please note, in order to apply for this grade you are required to be an existing IChemE Chartered Chemical Engineer (MIChemE).
