Uncertain of career pathways into the geotechnical engineering field.

  • 1.  Uncertain of career pathways into the geotechnical engineering field.

    I am a recent graduate of a Civil/ Geotechnical Degree and is someone who passionately wants to become a well-rounded Civil/ Geotechnical Engineer in a Consultancy company. 


    During the time of my job application, I have noticed that most jobs require a minimum of 2 years work experience that I had to change my job hunting methods. 


    However, I have recently received an offer from a Geotechnical Instrumentation Company. 


    I hope to clear my doubts by asking a question from this career pathway, "Can I pursue a career pathway into Geotechnical Design Engineer position in a Consultancy company; after the experience earned from the Geotechnical Instrumentation company?


    I would appreciate any answers given. Your answers would provide me a clearer picture of my career aspirations.



    Thank you,


    Karsten
