✋ A question for the Structural Consulting Engineering community... I come across a high volume of candidates who have gained experience working on low-rise projects looking to step up to medium to high-rise projects. The projects that they have worked on are typically, Residential, Commercial and Industrial and they will often be taking the lead in design, running multiple projects at once, consulting with Architects, Builders, Clients etc., taking a project from concept to completion. Most companies that have a hiring requirement for mid to high-rise buildings want to hire in a like for like capacity, so these candidates struggle to be considered for the companies designing larger projects. It's the classic which came first scenario, the chicken or the egg. My question is: ◾ What outside of project experience would make these candidates more desirable from a hiring perspective? ◾ What could they be doing to boost their profile for this project typology? ◾ How do they stand out from the crowd? Any thoughts would be gratefully received... #structuralengineering #highrisebuildings #recruitment #structuraldesign

11moGreat question and the struggle is real. I'm a softy, always rooting for the underdog. Companies need to invest more in training programs. Its better for them in the long-run to teach their team how they want the job done anyway!
