  • Josh Berry, CICES student member

    Student Membership at CICES has been extremely beneficial to somebody that is looking to work in construction. Because of the membership I was able to win the Robin Jones award, meet some of the biggest employers in the country and get support for launching the built environment society at Sheffield Hallam University. I would recommend becoming a CICES student member to those aspiring to work in construction due to the opportunities it has given me.

  • Ihotu (Ruth) Ocheche GCInstCES | CICES graduate member

    My favourite CICES member benefit is access to CPD opportunities and the professional network. Throughout my career, I've learnt that some of the most valuable lessons come from the people around you. CICES provides access to a wealth of knowledge and experience through its members, events and professional development opportunities, which I find incredibly valuable for supporting my continuous learning and growth.

  • David Clark FCInstCES | CICES Fellow

    My favourite benefit of being a CICES member is the networking. It's the fantastic people you get to meet on a weekly basis, the inspiration that you get to see.

  • Avais Ahmed GCInstCES | CICES Graduate member

    CICES is more than a professional body, it is a network built on guidance, reassurance and opportunity, committed to developing people and driving the construction industry forward for a brighter future
