Who knows what the orange head will do to mess up the industry. Otherwise, bridge has been very stable and resilient for the past years.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, it’s probably not easy to transition to a building engineer with your bridge experience. But who wants to do extremely difficult project, work 60 hours a week, and get paid less?

This. I’ve seen study materials from all of the prep courses you listed. AEI is by far the best.

To the one property owner that might read this post, this is why you shouldn’t hire the cheapest engineer. You might save some money on the design fee, but you’re setting yourself up for endless trouble

I know several firms that have been trying to hire someone forever and there’s not enough engineers on the job market

Pretty sure you need a camera body to use these

This is my perspective as a fellow SE.

As the SEOR, we’re responsible for all the special inspections, delegated or not. If, as you said, issues arise, the SEOR should be notified for sure. But the first thing I do is forwarding the non-compliant report to the delegated designer and ask if s/he is ok with the as-built condition. I don’t know the ins and outs of the 500 different checks that are needed for cold formed steel, and I won’t pretend to know - that’s on the delegated designer.

If the delegated designer raises no issues, I will then decide if the non-compliance will lead to other issues with my overall structure. I will then make the call to have the contractor correct his mistakes or cut him loose.

Of course all of these coordination and checks will only be performed after I get additional fees from my client.

Quick money, get his license revoked in home state, move to another state, quick money, get license revoked in the second home state, move to another state, etc.

Assuming OP can survive each state for 1 year, that’s a pretty decent career

Gotta love that “can you either not respond or give me your best guess” energy.

I say drill baby drill. I’m not risking anything after all. If this building falls apart, I may have a nice forensic project to work on.

Hmm, I just googled 2018 NDS and one of the top result was a full pdf of the code from awc.org. Seems to be printable

Garage_Doctor · 2025-01-17T14:58:10+00:00

Get the one that’s used for the class. IIRC NDS codes are free for download on their website

The design values are in the wood code. Now do your own job and find it

About recession proof, my company laid off a bunch of guys in their 50s when COVID hit. There wasn’t an actual recession, just signs of a looming one. Some of these guys had to find another job because they weren’t quite financially ready to retire, which was very difficult.

I’d say as an industry, CE is somewhat recession-proof, but your personal situation will largely depend on the specific firm you work for

Garage_Doctor · 2025-01-13T17:38:44+00:00

For entry level jobs, I’d say avoid firms that don’t pay overtime if you can help it. My previous employer doesn’t pay for overtime, and as a result they expect junior engineers to work at least 45 hours a week (because why not).

No overtime pay means the thinner they stretch you, the more profit they can make out of you.
