When I had my interview, the interviewer (also the head of the firm because it's a small company) was very transparent and said that he was having trouble finding applicants that he was thrilled about, and was willing to pay 50% above market value just to get some good people in the building.įast forward to now and I'm making a little over $107k before I've even recorded 2 full years of post-graduation experience. I thought it was a typo at first, but I figured I might as well submit my resume in case it wasn't.

In March I saw a job posting on Linkedin looking for a structural engineer with 0-3 years' experience, with a salary range of $104k-$110k. I was making $75k at the beginning of this year as a second-year engineer. That was the day I knew my engineering days were numbered and that I wanted to get into construction side. One his lackeys followed him up in his Chrysler Prowler museum piece. Prime contractor with no college degree landed next to the bridge in his sea plan. My middle manager PE boss showed up in his $20k corporate SUV. DOT PE showed up in a $5k beater ford Taurus DOT car. My PE is now two fancy letters on an email, don’t stamp plans or do design or consult, just run my own little construction projects.įirst project out of college we had a precon meeting down at a bridge. Told him to kick rocks, started managing commercial construction projects and 6 years later I make that salary every month making sure drywall gets hung strait and the sprinkler sub doesn’t fuck the hvac sub.

Got licensed and my manager wanted to move me 400 miles to start a new office for sub $75k salary. Left my roadway and bridge CEI job as soon as the ink dried on my PE. Obviously here’s a lot more indicators, but look at the Reddit salary survey and even BLS has some good stats to check out. I see so many postings on LinkedIn, indeed, cal careers etc… Most jobs (in Ca at least) in my field (structural and construction) are on the low end offering $120k, and the high end $200k. I live in Ca, public sector civil, I got a raise and make $83k now.ĥ. Firms are turning work away from how busy they are, when people are desperate for engineering services they will pay a pretty penny.Ĥ. More work, less people to do the work, it’ll follow the basic rules of economics.ģ. Lots of people leaving the industry for higher paying careers meanwhile the demand on infrastructure maintenance is on the rise. All mid level guys got promoted to seniors, all the juniors go promoted to mid level, and there’s a ton of open entry level roles.Ģ.
