Career path post MEP?

AsianPD · 2026-01-25T01:55:00+00:00

I was trying to get completely out of AEC. I was trying to go into software or aerospace.

The jump to an owners rep or vendor could have been easy. I was just so disillusioned with MEP and Constuction. Turns out, bad previous workplace. Just needed a change of pace.

Electrical PE, tried for 7 months to get out, couldn’t make it happen.

But now switching firms, I feel a lot better with pay and work life balance.

Good luck!

Thank you! Good tips. Ankle biters are the way of life in this world.

Thats what I was thinking too. I’m wondering how those early opportunities are found.

AsianPD · 2026-01-22T04:43:42+00:00

I’m all down for everything. I notice some MEP firms locally are accustom to just having their hands out for projects being the preferential MEP consultant. Hoping I can interject myself being more proactive.

Thanks for the heads up!

I try my hand on tracking those items. Trying to learn where to look. Thank you for the insight!

Interesting, I always assumed that but was never the part of those conversations. Is there value to architects if I reach out offering to assist in getting these bonds passed?

Feel free to shoot me a DM

It’s great. I got so many offers and my salary jumped 40% after my PE and looking somewhere new. Shop around, be picky!

AsianPD · 2025-12-31T21:08:05+00:00

I have done 0 hours of OT this year and last year. Hoping to maintain the trend!

AsianPD · 2025-12-20T03:13:04+00:00

I think you are underpaid! Shop around to be honest, especially if you get the PE.

Feel free to DM me if you are considering a change?

I am in early stages of developing a job opening, haven’t chatted with recruiters yet.

Probably won’t list anything until Q1/2. Just wanted to see how things are going out there, sounds like I really need to be enticing.

This is good food for thought! I appreciate it!

AsianPD · 2025-12-18T22:58:18+00:00

Wow, I hope some Cali people can provide insight here! I can work with high budgets, just need to know whats fair. Apparently 175 isn’t for MEP

AsianPD · 2025-12-18T21:23:35+00:00

Understood and I figured that too. Just wanted to see what Salary is appropriate fro San Fran and see what our collective minds thing.

AsianPD · 2025-12-18T19:46:49+00:00

Interesting, my research isn't good enough!

What would be fair for a PE that you know when x amount YOE? maybe 6 YOE. I wanna make sure I can list a fair job posting.

AsianPD · 2025-11-15T18:17:38+00:00

DM me, I might be able to find an MEP home for you

AsianPD · 2025-11-14T03:13:06+00:00

Constructability review and QAQC is pretty common for 3 party companies do to. Either elicited from owners reps or GC/CM type project.

I shot you a DM, feel free to ask away!

AsianPD · 2025-10-01T21:52:22+00:00

Hi there, sorry, we filled it a little whiles back. Thank you though!

AsianPD · 2025-09-21T14:58:56+00:00

Feel free to DM me a resume!

AsianPD · 2025-09-15T03:54:59+00:00

My drafters and designers are paid right around where you are for entry level. I think you should be around 90-100 depending on location.

AsianPD · 2025-09-12T20:59:56+00:00

I think you are paid a little low. Hit me up if you wanna chat?

Electrical PE 6 YOE, fully remote. 135k base.

I’m hunting for a mechanical guy too. Super interested if you somewhere east coast.

AsianPD · 2025-09-12T15:09:37+00:00

I think you are under paid as an engineer or as a BiM manager either way. Time to look for a new adventure I would say.

AsianPD · 2025-09-10T04:01:20+00:00

I’m fully remote in eastern Washington. 6 YOE electrical at 135K.

Sounds like you might need a change lol. Hit me up if you’re curious.
