US based - what specific certifications or licenses would I need to be allowed to work on a project in the UK?

[JD123]

I work for a boutique US-based Design and Engineering company that is being asked to do work in the UK for the first time. What requirements do I need to accept the project? Meaning do I need to apply for a license or register in the UK or anything?
It would involve design and consulting and working with larger multi-national groups who already are established in the UK. Our involvement would be A handful of trips to the UK to check on progress but would never be there for an extended period of time.

To work in the UK, you generally need a "Skilled Worker visa" which requires you to have a job offer from a UK employer, meet specific skill level requirements, and demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency.

Regarding professional engineer licensing:

I don't know about the UK specifically, but generally you can go to any country and have meetings to your hearts content. You just can't "work". Do it too often, like every other week for 6 months and you will have trouble. As for regulations, it depends on what you are delivering. If you aren't stamping anything or providing final drawings you are probably home free. You should include a disclaimer as to what regulations your service is based on.

Depends a bit on exactly what you're doing, but in general, there are a lot less registrations and licences, especially if you're doing it as a company, not individuals.

There isn't anything like the PE system here in terms of stamping / EOR / PE licences etc. Some places like people to be chartered or equivalent, but it's not mandatory.

ditto coming for "Business" isn't the same as setting up and office and trading.

You just need to follow the contract and specification and quality manual / procedures supplied to you or the ones you would be requested, then you're ok.
