Creating value and opportunity for engineering contractors, consultants and their suppliers in an uncertain world

Engineers, scientists and technicians have been fundamental to economic transformation for almost three centuries. Decarbonising global energy systems by 2050 is the next stage in that journey.

UK engineering contracting and consulting companies, along with their supply chain partners, are transforming process and energy systems globally. BCECA provides a collective voice for the UK’s engineering contracting community.

Underpinned by our Membership Charter, we foster the high standards of corporate governance required in a sector essential to delivering net zero.

• We enable, support and grow a community of engineering professionals in the UK.

• We shape skills development, share knowledge and promote best practice in engineering project execution.

• We showcase the diversity of opportunities in engineering contracting to inspire a pipeline of future talent.

• We enable, support and grow the engineering contracting community in the UK via supported  networks that cover all aspects of engineering project design and delivery.

  BCECA's virtual annual conference provides a platform for accessible, wide-ranging discussion on the sector's prospects. Currently, the agenda is strongly focused on the challenges of delivering the energy transformation.
  
  BCECA members meet regularly to evaluate and formulate views on the technical, economic, legal and political developments impacting the UK's engineering contracting community.

• We shape skills development, share knowledge, and promote best practice in project execution by regularly assessing labour supply, remuneration trends, and project order books.

  BCECA maintains regular dialogue with statutory bodies, training providers and professional institutions.

• We showcase the diversity of opportunities in engineering contracting to inspire a pipeline of future talent through regular engagement with undergraduates at UK universities.

  Our Early Career Professionals group is a valuable space for a diverse community of younger employees in the sector to exchange ideas and build productive relationships.

Our Membership Charter sets out the operating principles and standards required by BCECA membership. Members must embrace the principles embodied in the Charter, which calls for fairness, transparency, and a culture of integrity and trust in the sector and across the wider contracting community.

The world is in flux, and while change has always been woven into the fabric of human existence.

The existential threat posed by man-made climate change requires immediate action from all quarters - the UK's engineering contracting and consulting communities will play a lead role by delivering the next generation of process and energy infrastructure. BCECA's vision is straightforward.

We want a safe and sustainable planet where people, businesses and communities can prosper and grow. This vision includes our member companies, their employees, partners and clients.

BCECA exists to help them make it happen.

Our members, along with their supply chain partners, are actively working toward this vision. At the heart of our strategy lies the fundamental commitment to support the project delivery needed to achieve Net Zero by 2050. This commitment drives our plans and shapes our work programmes.
