Become a Chartered Civil Engineering Surveyor (CCES)

“The dual designation of MRICS and CICES is a truly meaningful recognition of the breadth and depth of expertise that geospatial professionals bring to the table. Many of us began our careers rooted in civil engineering surveying and have evolved into roles that demand a nuanced understanding of both engineering and surveying disciplines and the data that supports and enables both. This collaboration between RICS and CICES is not just a membership milestone—it’s a strategic alignment that reflects the realities of modern practice. It signals a shared commitment to technical rigour, professional integrity, and the kind of interdisciplinary thinking that’s essential to shaping resilient infrastructure and delivering geospatial and location data intelligence at scale. For our sector, it’s a future-facing move that validates the hybrid skillsets we’ve cultivated and reinforces the value we add across the built and natural environment.”

“This designation marks a significant step forward in recognising the unique blend of expertise held by professionals working at the intersection of civil engineering and surveying. I, like many other geospatial surveyors, started my career in civil engineering and this collaboration between RICS & CICES has been a long-held ambition for our growing sector. It reflects not only technical excellence but also a commitment to the highest standards of professional integrity and competence. By formally acknowledging this dual capability, RICS and CICES are reinforcing the value of interdisciplinary practice and collaboration in shaping the built environment, and future proofing the growth of our geospatial and construction sectors.”
