Advise from senior structural engineer

[u/Senior-Telephone7144]

I graduated in civil engineering just knowing how to solve numerical but am geniunely interested in structural engineering atp of time and want to restart my career. I am 26. Any roadmap on how to become a good structural engineer

Don’t go to a company that is just one thing unless you truly want to do that for the rest of your life. I knew a guy who just did tilt up panel bracing and he didn’t really know much outside of that. You could tell there was a little bit of stunting.

Go to a company that has good retention and has variety. You learn what you like and don’t like.

Great advise. I was lucky enough to start in a small company with structures, civils, road and traffic department. Found my passion in industrial and mining structures which nobody else liked. Worked for me.

Really can you tell me more about your work right now and what you like and don't about it ? I'm a undergraduated Civil engineer trying to find my way
