The Institution of Structural Engineers is an approved assessment entity for the Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland.
This means that existing Chartered Members, potential Chartered Members and non-members can become RPEQ registered via the IStructE assessment processes.
You can review the full BPEQ Assessment Scheme document for details of the eligibility criteria and assessment process.
Contact the Membership Team if you have any queries or would like to discuss the assessment process.
If you gained your Chartered Structural Engineer registration with the IStructE via the standard application route you have already demonstrated that you have met the competence requirements for registration as an RPEQ.
Your application process is as follows:
-
Email [email protected] to request the letter of eligibility
-
The Membership Team will check your records and then send you a letter of eligibility
-
You will then need to download and complete Form 2 on the BPEQ website and send the form, plus the required evidentiary documents and application fee, directly to the BPEQ. https://bpeq.qld.gov.au/registration/become-a-rpeq/
-
The BPEQ will notify you when your application has been assessed.
