In this article (and video above), I talk with Joanna Mason, PE, a project manager at Schnabel Foundation Company, about how the Professional Engineer (PE) license has played a pivotal role in shaping her career success in engineering construction.
Here Are Some of the Questions I Ask Joanna:
- How has your PE license helped you obtain career success in construction engineering?
- Do you feel like having a PE license gives you more credibility with clients and other professionals?
- Do you think it is critical for construction engineers to get a PE license, even if they don’t think they need it right now?
Here Are Some Key Points Discussed in This Episode:
- Having a P.E. license shows that you are a dedicated professional who has met the highest standards of engineering education and experience. It also gives you the credibility and authority to stamp shop drawings and take on more leadership roles in construction projects.
- Having a P.E. license shows that you have the knowledge and experience to design and build safe and reliable structures. It also gives you the credibility to work with clients and other professionals and to take on leadership roles in construction projects.
- Getting a PE license is a valuable asset for construction engineers because it gives them a broad understanding of the different disciplines of civil engineering.
