IES/ACES M&E RE/RTO Registry
IES/ACES M&E Resident Engineers (RE) and Resident Technical Officers (RTO) Registry
M&E Resident Engineers (RE) and Resident Technical Officers (RTO) are part of the on-site supervision team that assists the M&E Consultant in ensuring compliance to design standards and installation quality. They are also involved in supporting sustainable built environment initiatives and are key to a highly productive construction industry.
The M&E RE and RTO Registry was jointly launched by IES and ACES on 14 March 2014. Accreditation as a registered M&E RE/RTO not only serves as a form of recognition of their competency, but also provides them with appropriate training opportunities to enhance their technical know-how and to keep abreast with the latest developments in the built environment sector. This is to ensure that all building projects across Singapore are completed according to the highest safety standards and quality.
A certified M&E RE or RTO who is also an IES Member will enjoy discounted rates for seminars & courses conducted by IES or IES Academy.
Note: A Professional Engineer, who possesses a valid practising certificate from the Professional Engineers Board, is not required to be registered with the Joint Accreditation Committee when he/she performs supervision of building works (as a registered site supervisor).
