A key role in MMB to lead the transformation of theoretical ideas and concepts into reality on the ground.

Did you know that a civil engineer once developed a clever pumping system that supplies just enough water to make a water slide slippery? Without the precise circulation of water, a water slide wouldn't work as smoothly as it does. Imagine your summer fun without that exhilarating ride! Engineers don't just build bridges and buildings; they also design systems that keep our favorite activities running smoothly. From ensuring our water slides are slippery to creating infrastructure that keeps our world connected, engineers are the unsung heroes of everyday fun and functionality. At Legacy Talent Search, we celebrate the creativity and ingenuity of engineers and are dedicated to connecting them with exciting career opportunities in manufacturing, construction, logistics, and professional services.

I wish to give some constructive and hopefully useful advice to candidates seeking a new role. 1. What is the Job title? If it says Structural Engineer, it means you must be a Structural Engineer, not something else. 2. Read the job specification and match the required skills to your own. 3. Some roles require a certain level of tenure...... do you match this criteria? If the JD prescribes 15yrs and you have 4yrs, you will not be taken seriously. 4. Follow the instructions prescribed in respect of how to apply Please do not try and convince yourself that you are something or capable of doing things you are neither qualified, licensed or skilled to do/deliver. Do not apply if you cannot meet the min requirements and do not try and bypass the process, even if you believe this shows initiative! #jobhelp #betherightcandidate #readthespec #recruitment

Very interesting insight here from Tyler Wiggins about the current job market for software engineers vs structural engineers. There definitely seems to be quite the imbalance of labor supply/demand. Have others noticed this in their local market?

Want to fasttrack your engineering career progression? Have more conversations. If you’re wondering with who: – Your boss – Your customers/clients – Engineers in your network – People you met at a conference – Recruiters who reach out to you So why does having more conversations lead to growth? It keeps opportunities heading your way: “I just had lunch with a former employer and they are going to extend a job offer.” “My friend’s company is hiring and they put in a good word for me.” “I had a recruiter reach out about a growth opportunity and the salary is 20% more than my current base.” You will never hear about these opportunities if you close yourself off to conversations. PS - I’m recruiting for a bunch of structural and civil engineering roles. Want to have a short conversation about your future? 

Lets talk about Career Progression📈 Career progression often involves a mix of developing skills, gaining experience, and making strategic job moves. Moving jobs can , allow individuals to explore different roles, industries, or company cultures. However, it's crucial to approach job transitions thoughtfully—considering factors like career goals, company fit, and long-term growth potential. Successful career progression is about continuous learning, networking, and making informed decisions that align with your professional aspirations.

“Where did all the structural engineers go?” This turns out to be a complicated question to answer. Check out this job search I did for the Los Angeles Metro Area. I searched “Structural Engineer” (On-Site) I reviewed the first page of the search results: 124 openings, average of 9 applications/job To help with a comparison, if I look at “Software Engineer” in the same area, I get this: 932 openings, average of 78 applications/job Nine applications may seem like enough, but if you have ever posted a job on LinkedIn, you know that it’s not. 𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝? Not one thing in particular, but a combination of a few: 1) Many civil/structural engineers left the industry during the ‘08 recession.   2) There are now not enough mid to senior-level engineers to fill open roles from engineers retiring or company growth.  3) Many civil/structural engineers were overworked, overburdened with stress, and under-paid. This did not entice college students to pursue the degree. 4) Civil/structural engineers continue to leave the profession due to burnout. What does the solution to this problem look like? It’s holistic, and involves rethinking your recruiting process. Working with a recruiter who specializes in your niche (civil, structural, geotechnical, forensic, etc.) is a great place to start. They can give you some “boots on the ground” research into what is going on in your area. I recruit structural and forensic engineers for growing engineering firms. These are the problems that I address with my clients every week. Interested in talking through some solutions to grow your engineering team? Please DM me. P.S. - Would love to hear from engineering managers in the comments. How has hiring been for you over the past few years?

The VA World for Engineers seems to be misleading. The rate is too low but they need your expertise. I rejected this offer because it was too low. What do you think? Did I make the right decision? I can find Engineering jobs for a remote set-up at OnlineJobs.PH So if you want to apply in a construction VA try to use this platform, create your profile and apply for the job.
