5 E3 Undertake engineering work in a way that contributes to sustainable development My current involves the introduction into service of a new operational platform. However, this also involves consideration of the subsequent disposal of the platform at the end of its service life, and is a key design requirement. My current engineering requires scheduled maintenance of the platform throughout its life cycle. This is being planned to ensure the safety of both the work force and minimum environmental impact with suitable risk assessment. E4 Carry out continuing professional development, including opportunities for this offered by their Institution, to ensure competence in areas and at the level of future intended practice. QAircraft Introduction into service of a new platform requires adherence to current engineering standards within the concept and assessment phases, and additionally a view of emergent and future standards that will be in place when the completed platform actually enters service. The BCompany produces a quarterly magazine that provides articles on safety and engineering issues. This often contains information on engineering technologies across a range of differing sea and air platforms including those in development. * = The Society may require you to be interviewed as part of the assessment process. If this happens, it will be conducted in English, subject only to the provisions of the Welsh Language Act 1993 and any Regulations which may be made in implementation of European Union directives on free movement of labour. 5
