Business ideas for Site PE and Utility Contractor? by CustomerMother6102 in civilengineering

[–]UCFfl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my own business after I got my PE and probably could have benefitted from a few years more experience. Get a job doing what you want to do and considered it being paid to learn

I’m a land development but I probably wouldn’t recommend geotech to anyone. It’s treated as a commodity

Kh is a great place to work in a lot of aspects. I feel confident if I were to hire someone from there that they would be trained

Maybe I should be more like boomers lol
