If you have an acredited degree from the IMechE you can join as an associate and use the title AMIMechE if you so wish.
Engineers are sought after a lot in this country, just its hard to locate jobs.

there is a whole host of institutes that you can try to get chartered with, dependant on your field.
IIE (institute of incorperated engineers) etcetc.
ImechE (as stated above) is probably the most renowned. heavily mechanical based.
I am a piping designer. sometimes I am labeled a design engineer, sometimes a senior designer.
ultimately I dont have a degree. I do have nearly 9 years experience.
Not having a degree will hold me back. I will not hit engineer status in my field.
I can however bypass this and use my "on job" experience to attempt to apply for a masters, which I will do soon enough.
but what gets to me on this topic, is say a sanitary engineer, logistics engineer etcetc.
these roles do not require a technical degree to be fulfilled (all be it specialist fields)
so really specialist should be the term.
people know the difference though. petitioning it isnt really necessary
