The role

CIHT wants to work with members who can help deliver CIHT’s Strategic priorities.

• Promote learning
• Influence the future
• Promote the value of membership

Support is required in a variety of ways, and we are looking for a range of members who are willing to use their skills, knowledge, and experience to assist CIHT.

What is involved?

A variety of inputs are required – not all are required from each ambassador.

• Being a role model for other members of CIHT
• Be the first point of contact for CIHT information, news, events and announcements.
• Make colleagues aware of CIHT and how being a member can benefit them and their career
• Encourage colleagues to attend CIHT events and to consider joining the Institution
• Pass on to prospective members the benefits of membership and details of how to join CIHT
• Engage with your local Region / Nation / Group - receive details of local events and related activity that may be of interest and promote these within your organisation.
• Answer basic enquiries about CIHT and Membership and/or putting colleagues in touch with the CIHT Membership Team.
• Explore opportunities for CIHT staff to come in and talk to colleagues about membership choices and opportunities to gain professional recognition, for example as a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Engineering Technician (EngTech) and Chartered Transport Planning Professional (CTPP)
• Work with HR colleagues inside your organisation to discuss opportunities to promote CIHT.

What is expected of you?

Time commitment will vary depending on the input(s) chosen by the member. CIHT will not set a specific time period although we will check your willingness to continue at regular periods
