Right now only IEM conducting PE interview. BEM is no longer doing this. Pls correct me if I were wrong on this. This is implemented since few years ago.

Answer to Q1:
You can go ahead to register without your cert. Once immediately after received your cert, you can supplement back. Write a simple formal letter to indicate this intention during submission of your BEM application form + fee, etc.
I did this in year 2004 or 2005, can't recall. Shall be same right now.

Answer to Q2:
Pls register with BEM & IEM first before you go register with IES. [Anyone, pls correct me if I were wrong again]

I think so, you must registered with BEM first. Then only proceed to IES from what I understood from here or maybe provisional:

http://www.ies.org.sg/pageview.php?page_id=110

The best to clarify this is contact them too to check the above mentioned since you are now in Sg.:
http://www.ies.org.sg/contactus.php

Pls. keep us update if IES accepting your membership after your registration to BEM approved.

Agreed with nicvoo, you can post them. Sat I do not think they open.

IEM Southern Branch, you may try to put your address at JB, then any updates/seminars, they will notify you.

nicvoo has mentioned lot of things happening at site from RE's point.
Lot of RE handles C&S + M&E, depends on project scale.
Sometimes, C&S RE with Ir. at site will hand-sketch modify the drawings from HQ consultant & implement at site. He will sign the modify drawings & feedback to HQ (the designer) due to impracticable design.

That is one of the many reasons I left consultant after 3 years plus in M&E (2.5 years design experience at M side from high rise building to infra [prepare tender doc, plumbing, sanitary, lift + escalator, natural gas, ACMV, fire protection, T&C, SAT], 7 months plus full time based at site as inspector) & join oil & gas.

Just for your info, my knowledge is slightly better than a Ir. when i joined a consultant company last time. Even 1 of my seniors without Ir. far far better than a Ir. Not boosting, it is a realization when discussing design & actual practicability come to site implementation & construction stages, tender document...there are lot of things happening at site, it is not like design in office.
The value of Ir. for me is??? Unless you join back consultant firm.
Singapore with Er. is very lucrative if as part time & as 3rd party inspector/certificator but the "heavy responsibilities" are there in case unlucky events happened, touch wood...

BEM Requirement to be Registered in Electrical Engineering

it is depend on the university syllabus that one had taken in university. from there BEM will evaluate if he/she is required to take the exam in order to be able to register in Electrical discipline.

an ex-colleague was in EE, he was required to self-study a few subjects and took the exam(s) before can be registered as graduate engineer with BEM in "Electrical" discipline.
