RPEQ: the mark of qualification, competence and experience

RPEQ: the mark of qualification, competence and experience

In Queensland we have a unique system that requires registration for engineers working in or for Queensland. This is the Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) system that is established under the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (PE Act).


The RPEQ system and the PE Act is designed to protect the Queensland public and uphold standards of engineering. Any person providing professional engineering services must be registered as a RPEQ, which is a legally protected title.


To become a RPEQ, engineers must meet strict qualification and competency standards. Firstly, the engineer must hold a recognised four-year engineering degree. Then they must work under direct supervision of a RPEQ for at least four years to develop their engineering expertise and skills.


Engineers then need to be independently assessed as being qualified and competent in a discipline of engineering (e.g mining). A positive assessment allows the engineer to apply officially for registration as a RPEQ.

Once registered, RPEQs are held to a mandated code of practice and must complete ongoing professional development to maintain their practice standards.


Being a RPEQ is a status that must be earned and distinguishes professional engineers from the rest. RPEQ is the mark of qualification, competence and experience.


The Board of Professional Engineers of Queensland (BPEQ) is Queensland’s engineering regulator. BPEQ is an independent statutory body and has administered the PE Act and the RPEQ system since 1930.
