Founded in 1966 as the British Chemical Engineering Contractors Association, BCECA provides a collective voice that strengthens the position of UK-based engineering contractors. We offer the potential to influence decision-makers, uphold professional and corporate reputations and promote the mutual interests of the sector and its supply chains.
Enable, support and grow
We enable, support and grow the engineering contracting community in the UK via networks that cover all aspects of engineering project design and delivery.
Our virtual annual conference provides a platform for accessible, wide-ranging discussion on the sector's prospects.
Our members meet regularly to evaluate and formulate views on the technical, economic, legal and political developments impacting the UK's engineering contracting community.
Shape, encourage and promote
We shape skills development, encourage knowledge sharing, and promote best practice in project execution by regularly assessing labour supply, pay trends, project order books, and the regulatory landscape.
BCECA maintains regular dialogue with policymakers, statutory bodies, training providers and professional institutions.
Secure the skill base
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.
