People Development

In this episode of The Civil Engineering Podcast, we talk with two engineers from Alaska that decided to start their own firm and really focused on people development within their firm. They are Garret K. Gladsjo, P.E.and Lucas Chambers, P.E., co-owners and principal engineers at proHNS LLC. We talk about how investing in your staff can help grow your company tremendously.

Engineering Quotes:


Here Are Some of the Questions I Ask Garret and Lucas:

  • How did you end up starting your firm and what services does your firm provide?
  • Talk to us about the importance of people development at your firm, and how you find, develop, and retain the right people?
  • How do you ensure that the right people are doing the right things and that you promote the right people into the right position at your firm?
  • How do you identify who needs what training or development? Do you have a process to ensure you are consistently developing your people?
  • Problem-solving is the essence of what engineering leaders do, but how do you and your company identify the problems that arise?
  • Once you identify problems, does your company have a specific process for solving them? If so, what does it look like?
  • What are some typical problems that you see in civil engineering firms, specifically when they are trying to grow or scale?
  • Do you have any final advice to civil engineers out there who are trying to grow their own companies, or who are considering pursuing a career similar to yours?

Here Are Some Key Points Discussed in This Episode About People Development:

How to Utilize Design Visualization for Civil Engineering Firms – Real Life Examples

May 19, 2021 By EMI

Everyone knows that innovation is mandatory for the survival of an engineering firm. BIM is fantastic. Lidar usage is now ubiquitous. And if you are buying a drone in 2021, then your firm is behind.

But rarely does the AEC sector evolve the way that we win our projects, inspire our team members, and connect with the communities we work with.

Besides, what good is a showcase project finale if no one knows about it because the only way to demonstrate its success is through a crinkled-up Polaroid that you carry around in your pocket?

What if you could highlight your projects like in this demo reel here?

Design visualization has become something that Pennoni is known for, and the use of our tools internally has promoted the creation of a department that we call Pennoni FX Studios (PFX).

In fact, to win certain poster-child projects like Winter Haven Central Park in Florida, we have beaten creative design shops that would be considered Goliath when compared in the ring.

The Best Engineering Consulting Firms to Work For

The Best Engineering Consulting Firms to Work For

best engineering consulting firms

As of recently, many of our Engineering Mastermind members have been asking what the best engineering consulting firms to work for are. In an effort to give them a good answer, we have decided to write a series of articles focused around the best engineering consulting firms to work for.

There are a lot of different sources out there that provide information like this; however, we are going to research all of them and also add our own advice. Our advice comes from coaching hundreds of engineers in the industry who have told us about their working conditions.  Also, it is important to remember, that every company will appear different or offer a different experience to different people.  No two engineers are identical, but our research will be based on the feedback of many.

What Do You Want to Know About the Best Engineering Consulting Firms?

If you have a question you would like us to specifically address in this post, or you would like to tell us about one of the best engineering consulting firms that you have worked for, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Please be sure to leave your location if you do so, as that certainly plays a role in ranking the top firms.
