A Career Journey in Structural Engineering With Zach Bowden

A Career Journey in Structural Engineering With Zach Bowden

What does a career in Structural Engineering look like? 🤔

Most people think it’s only the (demanding) technical side, but that’s not the case — and Structural Engineer Zach Bowden, P.E. is here to prove it. 👇

In this episode, Zach jumps on the show to pull back the curtain on what a career in Structural Engineering looks by diving into his own journey into the field.

From how he got into it to what he learned working on every complex project from seismic design to mass timber...all the way to the need for the PE vs SE license if you want to build a career in structural engineering.

Do you really need the SE? Zach answers that question.

On top of that, there’s another side to Zach’s career that’s just as interesting: Structural Engineering educator.

He also dives into why he started The Structural Engineering Podcast, and how talking with other Structural Engineers from across the industry has helped him in his own career, as well as given back to the next generation of Structural Engineers.

If you’re a Structural Engineer — or thinking about becoming one — this conversation is packed with real-world lessons about building and growing a career in this field.

So, go give this one a listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the full interview with Zach on YouTube. 👍
