Very well explained. Thanks mate for the video.
Very good and informative video! Thanks, Brendan! Keep up the good work!👍
Nice video Brendan, i feel like its important to remember that there is no one type fits all in engineering. Some people are naturally more technical but frequently lack the soft skills to be in a management role and vice versa. The key is to be able to read these types of people and put them in the right place / project to get 100% out of them.
Do you have any videos recommending how to go about (practically) living a balanced life where you have to learn on the job and take time outside of work to do further research and studies, including managing stress, relationships, exercise etc.? How does that look in terms of calendar management?
Loving the various job titles
Glad that you enjoyed it
Pay scale is very low compared to risk and hard work
Very inspiring and useful video. As peole in comments said - it comes in right time. Thank you for all that you do!
Glad it was helpful and thanks for your support!

Frankly, it's immoral.
Risk is a very good point. Throughout, you have to be razor sharp on your responsibility and scope to ensure no-one is transferring risk to you that should not be at your door.
This is very good advice. The problem is that things do not always work as expected. What happens when you get at 10 years of experience and have massive holes in the technical hard skills such as using CODES, REGS and SOFTWARE but the projects you are doing do not allow you to improve those aspects and you end up working as a senior engineer, but in reality are an OK intermediate engineer ( very experience graduate engineer)with massive holes in your technical knowledge?
My assessment is to study 2 hours every evening for a year to try to cover all those holes and then change company. But, this is harder than it seems
Again, very good points. A scan of LinkedIn vacancies shows how much a potential employer expects from successful candidates but the same employer isn’t going to dig into its pockets to pay you in accordance with the required skills and extra out of work commitment.
It’s just expected that you’re a mug.
@@Equinoxious342 This is the issue. A employer expects you get the job done well and quickly period and doesn't care of anything else. So, learning time is when you are a graduate when you are allow to make mistakes, take longer in completing things and are still young and motivated. But, when you get in your 40's, are not certified and still have to master engineering skills that should be already been mastered years ago, the future becomes very bleak to be honest.
I think it's one way of doing this. But wouldn't it be much simpler to change the job immediately to a position wher you can learn those things on the job?
Or why not go for an internship in another company? It's a lower paying job for about 3 months, but theres less risk to it.
It comes at the right time, I appreciate your content and years of wisdom sir!
Thanks for watching and the support

@@BrendanHastyyour wisdom is greatly appreciated.
@@BrendanHasty If there is a chance, It would be so great like to have internship under you, learning from you would be such an honor!🙏🏻
Hi Brendan, you are 100% with this video. Your career path determines what kind of engineer you will be in the future and the leadership you will offer. I am grateful to my pass boss who mentor and shape my career path to what it is today with building confidence, time management, engineering designs, engaging in meetings/ clients and onsite experience... the memories are fresh in my mind.
You nailed it!
Malik.
Always glad to hear what you think mate!
I have 4 years of experience and I still haven't been able to get a good mentor to teach me something. Everything I've learned I've got it from my own curiosity and will. I am worried that this will prevent me from getting a good job where I can learn how to design more complex and challenging projects.
Hi Brendan thanks for the explanation.I have a confusion regarding ETABS and Tekla, i wanted to know which one should i learn...
Tekla is Bim software
Whereas etabs in cae software
All up to you
I like your videos, bro! I am mechanical engineer and I would say, that your advices are valid in all aspect, no matter what kind of engineer you are.
Thank you for your support mate!
Not sure if the construction path is the same as design, however, I have completely skipped the graduate stage. I started with a small builder who employed me as Projects Engineer (Civil Engineering Student). I've run my own construction jobs, now overseeing the projects and dealing with the client and stakeholders. Still going to Uni. Doesn't seem right lol
Hey I am also studying civil engineering in Australia . I really admire your progression and it matches with a vision that I have. Is it possible to contact you, I really need your advice.
Architect and Artificial Intelligence will replace the Structural Engineers in Future. Real Data will be used through Data Science and Analytics for Design and optimization of design. Architect will feed basic drawing with materials and rest software with AI integrated will design. So Structural Engineers will be not required. Software will have many standard design and this data will help computer system to design the structures through reliability based design.
Structural engineer here. Except the projects become simplistic (and it's uncertain), AI will be unable to completely eliminate structural engineers. It's however appropriate to assume that AI will greatly influence the way structures will be designed just like it will impact other professions in the AEC industry.
al arquitecto lo reemplazar mas bien la ia. si es solo dibujar esa carrera monse
Interesting. I have 40 years post grad and gone through that journey. The main milestone was getting chartered status. Another level is when you learn other disciplines enough to become multi discipline and lead projects or run a consultancy business. At my level I have forgotten more than I know today so CPD is important.
