Our members are committed to high standards of corporate governance, sustainable development, and environmental protection.
These standards are set out in the Association's new Charter adopted in 2021. Acceptance of the BCECA Charter is a requirement of membership. BCECA is a discrete and trusted network that offers engineering contractors and their partners knowledge, intelligence, and influence.
Three membership tiers are available:
Full Member
This tier is open to companies who regularly undertake, as principal designer or contractor, contracts for engineering design, procurement, project management and/or construction of major energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, or other process plant facilities in any part of the world. A minimum of five years of activity in one or more sectors is required.
Full Members employ a substantial permanent engineering staff in the UK across multiple disciplines, including chemical, mechanical and electrical engineering – excluding those employed on temporary contracts through agencies or other off-payroll working arrangements.
Associate Member
Introduced in 2020, this tier provides a pathway for engagement with BCECA's knowledge networks at a reduced cost. Associate members have direct access to our global network of engineering contractors, information sharing, and collaboration.
UK-registered companies with more than 15 personnel providing conceptual or niche specialist technical consultancy services to the process and energy sectors are invited to apply for membership alongside vendors with a demonstrable track record of partnership and project delivery with EPC contractors.
Supplier Member
Supplier companies, such as equipment manufacturers, technology partners, fabricators, and construction contractors, are vital stakeholders in the engineering contracting community. Supplier members can engage with key topics and issues affecting engineering contractors and influence the discussion. Our supplier members contribute to a better understanding of the key issues facing the supply chain. By sharing information and knowledge – in full compliance with competition regulations - we can improve our ability to deliver projects safely and efficiently for our clients.
This tier is open to companies selling goods and services into the broad range of EPC activity in which BCECA companies operate. UK-registered enterprises supplying goods and services to the energy and process sectors are welcome to apply.
