Our Mission: Empowering Engineers to Achieve Their Dreams
At Civil Engineered for Success, our mission is simple yet profound: to help aspiring and professional civil engineers achieve their dreams, advance their careers, and unlock their full potential by becoming Chartered with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). We understand that chartership is more than just a professional milestone—it’s a gateway to recognition, influence, and lifelong opportunities. We are here to guide you at every step of the journey, helping you transform ambition into achievement.
About Us: Your Trusted Guide to Chartership
At Civil Engineered for Success, we are passionate about helping engineers achieve their professional goals and reach new career heights. Our mission is rooted in real-world experience, technical excellence, and a deep understanding of the ICE Professional Review process through carrying out many reviews for The ICE.
Why We Exist
Many engineers face the ICE Professional Review without the structured support they need. Mentorship can be inconsistent, mock interviews are hard to access, and honest, detailed feedback is often unavailable.
We created Civil Engineered for Success to bridge that gap - offering clear, accessible, and ethical support that helps engineers prepare with confidence. By combining real reviewer insight, professional integrity, and tailored guidance, we help candidates showcase their experience effectively and reach their full potential.
Beyond the review, we also support engineers in building long-term career success through practical blog posts, a weekly newsletter, and insights that go beyond the application - all designed to help you grow, reflect, and excel as a professional.
Our founder, Luke, is a chartered civil engineer and ICE Reviewer with extensive experience in the field, specialising in flood risk management, infrastructure design, transportation structures, and project delivery. He has mentored dozens of candidates and reviewed submissions across a broad range of technical disciplines.
Within our team, we also have ICE reviewers able to assess most technical specialisms of civil engineering including:
Bridges
Dams/Reservoirs
Environmental planning / engineering
Water supply / Sewage treatment / drainage and networks
Geology, geotechnical and ground engineering
Railway systems and infrastructure
Transportation Engineering
Highways & Traffic Engineering
Regeneration and Development
Energy Services
