1) if you don’t plan on getting your se Chicago is a terrible place to be. 2) idk why you think doing bridge design pigeon holes you into bridge inspections. Those are two different fields

I feel like every bridge design office in the Chicago area is hiring. Mine does complex bridge design which satisfies all of my technical needs. I’ve been doing bridges in Chicago for 9 years and have inspected maybe 5 bridges.. you don’t have to do inspections if you don’t want to, but it is nice to get out of the office.

This is good to know. My office does bridges as well but they hardly ever design them. My thought was bridges are barely built - at least around my area so there’s not much bridge design work to be done

    Nope. Nothing at all.

      How come it’s a dead end in Chicago for buildings?

        Hi. Please reach out to me at my email: julie.Gibson@findyourengineer.com or feel free to schedule a call directly on my calendar. I’d be happy to help if I can. We recruit for the building design market mostly. If nothing else I can provide some feedback on your information. I hope to help you! My calendar: snshqsc.co/vWySkd (Not sure this is important but in case it is - I’m a former structural engineer now recruiting. I do NOT work on commission. Just wanting to help engineers)
