The Energy Institute (EI) recently elected its first Chartered Energy Manager - Owen Everall CEng MEI, who is the Site Engineering and Facilities Manager for Syngenta. The EI launched this new grade of registration in 2010 to support and recognise professional practitioners who are responsible for managing energy to reduce use, increase efficiency and reduce carbon emissions on a daily basis. Applications for the Chartered Energy Manager title are assessed by means of a professional development review and interview. Maintenance of the title is by means of reporting on continuous professional development. The Chartered Energy Manager title (uniquely available through the EI) was created with two main aims in mind - to raise the standards and qualifications available to energy managers through a common set of job role competences; and to raise the profile of the valuable work carried out by energy managers and the critical role they have in reducing emissions and combating climate change.
