- blibble 2y agoit's what you're doing (your "function") that's regulated not your job title, or piece of paper that you have that says you're X, Y or Z

It is still possible in the UK and I assume EU (chartered engineer and the EU-alternative). So the reason it isn’t a PE-discipline is uptake, not the work itself.
