Greetings,

Sometimes trends in the engineering professions are difficult to define because of slow pace or incremental changes that can be difficult to perceive.  But, demand for engineering talent has been a dramatically increasing trend in the past few months.  Simply put, many firms have more work than people to execute the work, and the ability to win more available work is constrained by not having the necessary leadership and personnel.  Of course this is good news for recruiters like us, but, most importantly, it is a welcomed resurgence for the engineering professions. It is good news for everyone from the entry-level grad ready to enter the profession, to the senior engineer ready to take on a Principal role.

Improvement in the general economy is the prime driver.  In addition, there might be some improvement in the political environment in many states that is driven by the understanding of the critical needs of our crumbling infrastructure.  Credit the ASCE for their quadrennial
Report Card for America's Infrastructure and some excellent coverage in general media such as reviews of books like Jonathan Waldman's Rust, The Longest War and Rosabeth Moss Kanter's Move: Putting America's Infrastructure Back in the Lead.

Some of our recent opportunities are listed here but remember that job opportunities are very fluid and the best strategy for finding a new opportunity is to create a relationship with a recruiter who can identify the right career step as it becomes available.
