Hear from Chartered Energy Managers
Being a Chartered Energy Manager shows people that I am competent in my field, and it gives people confidence in appointing Salvis to carry out the work. I am a committee member of the EI southern branch and I have been involved in setting up group meetings like visiting the district heating energy centre in the centre of Southampton to learn more about how it works."
Alan Barber MEI Chartered Energy Manager
Director, Salvis Group Ltd
I have been a Chartered Energy Manager since 2014. I have benefited hugely from being part of the EI and wider energy community, and in particular following a more formal CPD process, which encourages me to learn about core subjects in more detail and expand my knowledge into other areas that I had perhaps not explored previously during my academic or working career."
Tom Kelly MEI Chartered Energy Manager
Managing Director, Inteb
The Energy Institute was the grounding body for me for years. It was the first institute I joined after moving to the UK back in 2013. A really supportive group of people that offered me opportunities to meet industry experts, study and develop my technical background and meet like-minded people, who I am now proud to call my friends. The institute provided me with the foundation I needed to grow."
Edita Adamcikova MEI Chartered Energy Manager
ESG Director, Viridor
Obtaining Chartered status has given me professional recognition and credibility in my field, demonstrating that I meet the required standards and competencies. This has enhanced my reputation and opened doors to new opportunities. Since 2020, I have been a committee member of the Energy Institute's Hong Kong branch, where I’ve organised activities that have provided me with the chance to connect with professionals and experts from various locations, including the UK, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Middle East."
Lam Ka Ho (Polex) MEI Chartered Energy Manager CEnv
Managing Director, Lianhe Green Development
Being a Chartered Energy Manager has given me credibility amongst my peer group and was a great piece of recognition, showing I had gained the practical and academic experience required to continue my professional development. As the energy industry is so fast-paced, this is key to making an impression on employers and staying abreast of what’s happening in the industry."

Is chartership really worth it?
In a summer 2026 member survey, professionals holding Energy Institute (EI) chartered registrations, including Chartered Energy Managers, reported average earnings of £84,000, around £15,000 higher than non-chartered peers. More than a quarter (26.8%) of chartered professionals are in the highest salary bracket, compared with 16.3% of non-chartered respondents. In addition, chartered respondents reported higher levels of salary satisfaction than the wider workforce.
Lydia Malley AMEI, Director of Professional Development at the Energy Institute, said: "It's important to recognise that these results show correlation rather than causation. We cannot say with certainty whether professional registration directly leads to higher salaries, or whether higher earners are more likely to pursue professional recognition".
"However, the relationship between Chartered status and increased earning potential is clear in the data. Professional registration demonstrates competence, commitment and credibility, qualities that are highly valued across the energy sector," Malley said.
