Welcome to the North Eastern Region

Across the Region, we have a varied programme of events, closely aligned with the IMechE’s five key themes of Energy, Environment, Transport, Education and Manufacturing 

The programme includes visits and activities to assist your professional development, to add to your learned knowledge, and to provide inspiration for a new generation of younger people to become engineers. 

Our Young Members continue to take the lead in prestigious events in the Region including GreenPower which gives school pupils an opportunity to build and race an electric vehicle.

If you have a little time to spare and are interested in joining any of the active Committees, please also get in touch. We need enthusiastic volunteers. It can be very interesting work, good for developing your skills and also provides some great networking opportunities.

We are well supported by our Membership Development Manager, Adam Jarvie, who provides various ‘Routes To Professional Registration’ workshops as well as developing Company-Based Registration schemes, to make transition to full membership of the Institution as straightforward as possible. Please contact Adam directly if you want to find out more – either as an individual, or on behalf of your Company

If you want to find out what’s happening where you live or work, then please contact the North Eastern Region committee, the Tyne & Wear or the Teesside Area committee’s – you will be most welcome!

    A case study for transforming Asset Integrity Management (AIM) on large scale Refining/Petrochemical facilities. Partnering with an operator, TUV Rheinland led a project to standardise, improve and digitise the AIM across four large sites across Europe. The key objectives of the transformation were to reduce equipment failures, introduce new AIM non-invasive technologies, reduce the Turnaround costs and durations and ensure the transformation was sustainable through knowledge transfer.
