IGEM Launches New Membership Grade

The Institution of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) has welcomed its first Gas Technician member following the launch of a new grade of membership for individuals working on gas installations and maintenance. The new grade is open to all on the Gas Safe Register.

The new member, Paul Gorton, employed with City Holdings plc, said: “It is important that gas technicians understand the difference between having registration with Gas Safe and holding Gas Technician status with IGEM. Membership of the professional body and progression to higher grades will give a clear indication to employers, businesses and other gas professionals that the technician is keen to be identified as one who takes pride in their achievements and will work to the highest standards expected within our industry.”

Historically, IGEM has focused its activities on the development of engineering technicians, and incorporated and chartered engineers from the upstream gas industry. With the introduction of Gas Safe Register, IGEM says it is recognising the value and technical expertise of Gas Safe engineers downstream of the meter.

Andy Wagg, IGEM’s chief executive, said: “IGEM membership serves to demonstrate commitment to employees through ongoing learning, development, professional recognition and competence to customers, lifting you above Gas Safe registration.”

For a limited time, all gas technicians will receive a free copy of IGEM/UP/1B/Edition 2 when they join IGEM.
