It is National Engineers Week, a time to celebrate the engineers shaping the world and engage young professionals who are curious about engineering. Here are a few fun photos from throughout my career in construction and now consulting, including my two engineers in training. #50andForward #NationalEngineersWeek #Engineering #jsheld #womeninconstruction

Celebrating Engineers Week 2024! 🎉 We caught up with our engineers to explore how they make a difference in the world and why students should dive into the engineering path. Nicholas Erimias, Construction Engineer, shared, "Engineers make a difference in our world by solving problems, innovating tech, ensuring safety, and addressing global challenges." Tyler Beck, Safety Engineer, explained, "Students should explore an engineering path because of the broad variety of job availability. There are many different types of engineers, and companies are constantly in demand for them. Another reason is the gratification of solving problems to create a better work environment." Welcome to the future of innovation and impact! 🌐🔧 #NEP #VINCIConstructionUSA #AttitudeandExecution #BuildYourFuture #WelcomeToTheFuture #NSPE #EWEEK2024 #EngineerWeek #WhatEngineersDo #innovation #EngineersWeek #FutureInEngineering"

National Engineering Day, led by the Royal Academy of Engineering, aims to make the UK’s engineers more visible and celebrate how they improve everyday lives and shape the world around us. Here’s what some of our engineers had to say about the positive impact their role has in society: #NationalEngineeringDay #structuralengineers #civilengineers

I posted recently about how frustrating it is that there's a massive underappreciation of the role the construction and civil engineering industries play in each of our day to day lives. From first thing to last thing each day, we rely on the infrastructure those industries build over and over again without thinking about it, where it came from or what (and who) it took to create it. 💡 Against that backdrop, you'd think the sector would take absolutely every opportunity it has to shout about the immense value it contributes to society. Apparently not. I read this morning that it's NATIONAL ENGINEERS WEEK. And when I say "I read this morning", what I mean is that I stumbled across it completely by accident. No idea why this occasion with its highly resonant 2024 theme of "Welcome to the Future" isn't being used more effectively to capture the attention of the next generation of engineers of all kinds. So, this is me doing my very, very small bit. Happy National Engineers Week 🥳 to all my engineering connections and to all of those young aspiring engineers who just don't know it yet. #nationalengineersweek #RecruitmentRedefined

In case you missed it, we recently caught up with Danish and Anthony, our graduate engineers, to gain their thoughts and insight into their engineering journeys. Read the full article below. https://lnkd.in/ePGyQA6D #graduateengineer #engineeringgraduate #graduatescheme #engineering

Happy #eweek2024! We asked Danny Luu, PE, Director of Engineering a few questions about the engineering industry, and here's what he had to say: "The AEC industry is anticipated to lean heavily on advanced technology, innovative solutions, and strategic workforce planning in response to shortage of #engineers, rise of new technologies, and increased demand for construction projects. High school students should consider a career in #civilengineering due to the growing demand for infrastructure improvements, shortage of engineers, wide range of professional opportunities, and long-term job security. During my engineering studies, I encountered difficulties understanding complex structural engineering lessons due to challenges stemming from an inexperienced professor. Despite these hurdles, I actively engaged in discussions with classmates and sought out tutoring sessions to improve my understanding of the course material." Great advice, Danny. Thanks for all you do! #welcometothefuture #engineering #engineers #enduringvalues #lastingsolutions

Happy Engineering Week 2024! 🔍 Did you know that National Engineers Week was established in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers? 🎉 As we celebrate this special week, let's reflect on the impact of engineering in our daily lives and communities. 💡 How will you honor engineers this week? #STEM #Engineer #EngineeringCommunity #Eweek2024 #Engineering
