I have people reach out to me all the time asking how to get into the architecture, engineering and land surveying industries. Here are my best tips to find yourself in one of these rewarding careers!

In the world of construction and building design, engineers play a pivotal role in ensuring the functionality, efficiency, and sustainability of structures and buildings. Without engineers, our industry would not exist. That’s why we are celebrating #nationalengineersweek! We collaborate with engineers on every project, whether it’s through our commissioning services, representing the owner of a building, or managing a project from the ground up, to provide optimal energy performance, enhancement of indoor air quality, mitigation of risks and defects, and facilitating seamless integration for our clients. As the construction industry continues to evolve, recognizing and prioritizing the importance of engineers becomes imperative for achieving excellence in building design and construction. Our team is grateful to our engineering friends in the construction industry whose commitment for creating solutions that improve our world on a daily basis goes unmatched. #construction #constructionindustry #eweek2024 #commissioning #ownersrepresentative #projectmanagement #engineering #engineeringdesign

🌐 The Indispensable Role of Structural Engineering in Shaping our World 🏗️ Dear LinkedIn Community, I trust this post finds you well. Today, I'd like to shed light on the paramount importance of structural engineering in underpinning the foundations of our modern society. As we traverse an era marked by rapid urbanization and technological advancements, the role of structural engineers becomes increasingly pivotal in ensuring the stability, safety, and functionality of the built environment. Structural engineering is the bedrock upon which our cities, infrastructure, and critical facilities rest. Without it, the intricate web of bridges, skyscrapers, dams, and transportation systems that define our interconnected world would be but a mirage. Here's why structural engineering stands as the silent sentinel, safeguarding the very fabric of our existence: Safety and Reliability: Structural engineers are the guardians of safety in the built environment. Their expertise ensures that structures can withstand the forces of nature, whether it be seismic activity, extreme weather conditions, or other unforeseen challenges. By meticulously analyzing materials, loads, and environmental factors, they design structures that prioritize the safety and well-being of occupants and users. Innovation and Efficiency: The relentless pursuit of innovation in structural engineering drives advancements that shape the skylines of our cities and optimize the use of resources. From sustainable design practices to cutting-edge materials, structural engineers play a pivotal role in creating efficient, eco-friendly structures that stand the test of time. Urbanization and Infrastructure Development: With the global population on a trajectory of urbanization, the demand for robust infrastructure has never been greater. Structural engineers are instrumental in designing and constructing the buildings, bridges, and transportation networks that facilitate the smooth functioning of urban centers. Their work is the backbone of economic growth, connectivity, and community development. Resilience in the Face of Challenges: In times of crisis, structural engineering becomes a linchpin in disaster resilience. Whether responding to natural disasters or designing structures that can withstand unforeseen challenges, structural engineers contribute to the creation of resilient communities capable of swift recovery. In conclusion, the world as we know it would be inconceivable without the tireless efforts of structural engineers. Their scientific acumen, technical prowess, and commitment to excellence are the driving forces behind the functional and aesthetically pleasing structures that define our global landscape. #StructuralEngineering #Innovation #BuiltEnvironment #Infrastructure #SafetyFirst #EngineeringExcellence

Calling all civil and structural engineering students and recent graduates!📢 Excited to share that registration is open for the IStructE Young Engineers Conference 2024 in Dublin on 19th July 🎉. The conference is a hybrid event so I encourage you to attend online if you can't make it in person. As part of my role on the IstructE Young Member's Panel, I've helped with the programme development and organisation of this conference and I am proud of what we have achieved as a task group. The conference will be an invaluable opportunity to gain technical knowledge and connect with professionals. Please encourage students and young engineers in your network to attend🎉. The conference will explore how young engineers can contribute to creating a resilient and inclusive built environment. As we continue to experience the impacts of climate change, it is becoming increasingly vital to consider how best to keep our infrastructure resilient. If you're considering taking the IStructE Structural Behaviour Quiz to get your GIStructE title, there'll be an interactive workshop to help build a practical understanding of structural behaviour.
