CMPE was founded in 1957 as a meeting place for members involved with mechanical plant.
The Contractors Mechanical Plant Engineers (CMPE) Association was founded in 1957, the members having a common interest in the operation, ownership, maintenance, repair and improvement of the contracts plant and machinery. The objectives of the Association are to broaden the scope of knowledge of such plant and its application, by placing the corporate knowledge of members at the disposal of any section of the industry. The associations aim is to make a worthwhile contribution to the greater understanding, as well as the more effective and safer use of mechanical plant. It comprises of branches throughout the UK, regulated by a National Council, with individual branches enjoying considerable local autonomy within the general parameters of the Association. The National Officers are the motivating force behind the CMPE and are dedicated to the serving of members.
Introduced in 1983 by the CMPE the Certificate of Competence (CoC) scheme was set up to promote the safer use of plant, which is an independent and traceable system for the training and assessment of plant operatives working across the construction, house building, industrial, utilities and agriculture sectors.
CMPE is a member of the Plant Sector Representative Organisation (PSRO) Certificating Bodies Standing Subgroup which provides a platform and voice to the PSRO Board and encourages schemes to work with employers in a bid to support and enhance the skills landscape.
A certificating body is an organisation that offers either formal qualification (usually with the regulated qualifications framework) and/or offers skills cards that identify plant-based occupations and/or categories or types of construction based plant.
