- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2022
- Have you ever wonder what your last day as an engineer will be I take you on that journey as I decided to quit Structural Engineering after 16 years and filmed my last day as a Structural Engineer. What does it mean for this channel, and why I left Structural engineering? Being a consultant engineer is tough, but it is something I loved, and you and see many videos on why I love Structural Engineering; however, sometimes, there is a need for change and growth, and the next journey in my Engineering career will be exciting. I will not reveal much in this video, but the next journey isn't far from Structural Engineering, and I will take you on that journey.
My youtube channel on structural engineering isn't coming to an end; in fact, it is likely to have better, more exciting content. And I look forward to taking you on the journey.

Congrats on this new journey Brendan! Can’t wait to see how you’ll help people through this channel even more now. I’ll be sure to tune in and find out what your new adventure entails! Whatever it is, you’ll do great at it.
Hi QQE, it should lead to some exciting videos and should help build up the engineering community. thanks for the support.
Hi Brendan, this one was very close to home with me. I remembered taking that step to becoming a consultant when the company I worked with had a rough depression time. The project engineers had to take a 40 to 60% pay cut and yes I was one with the 60% cut. Though I decided to take servants pay my boss wanted me to say on for 2 additional months which I did. After the 2 months was over I went on into an unknown but exciting journey. It's almost 10 years and I haven't regret my decision. To this day, my exboss still seek my services for some assignment. With that being said, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Stay safe,
Malik
Hi Brendan, congrats on the new chapter! Your videos are helpful and inspiring. CAnt wait to see your next video.
Appreciate your support Jichun!
Thank you for the videos and congratulations on your new endeavor. I have 44 years (and still counting) as a Structural Engineer and have made similar changes starting with consulting, to large corporation, and back to consulting. I retired from a full time corporate environment at age 62 and returned to consulting because (like you) I enjoy the technical side of the work. I also have enjoyed teaching at a community college part time to share my knowledge and experiences. I could not have planned my career the way it turned out, but made changes that were appropriate and necessary to advance my skills and opportunities. Keep on adjusting your course as you see fit, and as the pilots sometimes say may you have blue skies and tail winds all the way. 😀
Hi Bobby, thanks for the support and encougement. It is always intresting to see how engineers can have a varity of career parths and most are not as a straight line. sounds like you took the oppitunitys that opened to you something I wish I learned ealier is take risk and the opportunities that open you and you will go far.
Thank you Brendan, you did walk me through tough courses since days at university. Good luck with your next adventure, always be mindful and dedicated as you have always done!
Hi Bui, thanks for the suport.
This is so exciting! Can’t wait to see what your next chapter looks like!
Hope my content keeps inspiring. Thanks for the support.
Love it ! Hope to see more of your videos.
More to come! Thanks for your support!
Take it easy and have best of luck in your new journey!
Can't wait to see your next chapter! Excited for all the content to come.
Hi Ed, thanks for the support. the new upcomming content should be exciting
Hi Brendan, I really enjoy your youtube video and looking forward to your next exciting content. Take care
Hi Jim, Thanks for Wtching and the support. hope you enjoy the new content.
congrats, this especially hit home, walked a similar path a few years back after a decade with Aecom. I relived my last day through this video. All the best!
good luck plus it's good to see this channel growing by leaps and bounds and inspiring others to do well in the structural engineering field. :)
Hi Shazeb, thanks for the sipport and encougement. hope to see my channel to continue to grow.
You are amazing. Big respect for you, mr. Hasty!💗
Appreciate your support Emir!
Thanks so much for your ever helpful content Brendan. I work in a consultancy company as well, and your decision has given me more courage to make a similar move in the near future. All the best and stay blessed.
Hi Grace, wishing you best on your journey for what every decision you make. I think if you leave on good term you can come back and you may regret not taking opportunities you decide to pass on. Thanks for the support.
All the best for your new adventure! I know it's going to be great success, and thanks for taking us along on the journey! It's funny, as I've recently started at the same company you just left... Looking forward to all the future content!
Hi Theuns it is a great company and gave me alot of opportunities I couldnt have asked for more. I just got a offer that was too good to pass up. looking forward to taking you on that journey .
Love from Zambia - Africa ❤ . Good luck in your next big move!!
Thanks for your support Kondwani!
All the best on your new journey Brendan. We hope you enjoy whatever you are pursuing.
Hi Rahmat, thanks for the support.
All the best on your new journey. Your channel has been an inspiration.
Thanks Bikramjit I hope to keep inspiring
Don’t stop updating us on this learned journey!All the best
Definitely!
Well done Brendan!!!. I admire you and what you did. The best things are yet to come for you. I'm considering quiting structural engineering in Mexico to become a house building contractor, because this is not leading me anywhere actually, but so far I am still hesitating.
Hi Oscar, it is alway hard to know is it the right decision. But most of the time good things happen when you take risk, just keep learning. I am sure you can always come back if it doesnt work out.
Spotted the change on LinkedIn the other day, looks like an exciting change of applying your skillset! I can relate to your introduction a bit, similar dynamics lead me to consult. I returned part time recently to practice but am less focused on archirectural deliver and more on programming - a refreshing change. Great tips RE not burning bridges too, agree 100% and good to see many healthy relationships/exchanges with your peers. Best of luck and look forward to hearing how the dev work goes! The industry definitely needs better plafforms to use, no doubt you'll have plenty to contribute!
hey Aussie BIM Guru, Agree, I saw your latest video that you are taking a break, hope everything is going well on your end. If everything goes well I should hopefuly be envolved in distrupting the building industry.
@@BrendanHasty wicked, it needs it! Yeah all good, just got engaged and joined a firm part time so the channel had go go for now.
Congrats on this new journey !!!
Thanks mate!
Good luck in your next move, I’ll bet they’ll miss you. Look forward to hearing your next steps. Keep moving forward. Everyone needs to follow their passion.
Hi Julian, I will miss working there to, but they next journy should be really exciting. thanks for the support.
good luck on your next chapter, next task and next experience, cant wait to see ur video with new role,
Thank you and appreciate your support!
Cool stuff mate! Looking forward to see what you're up to now.
Thanks John, I'm enjoying the role, will share with you my new journey.
@@BrendanHasty Looking forward mate. Hoping to have a chance to collaborate in your engineering works in the future. :)
Sad to see you leaving your job when I have just subscribed to your channel in the hope to find motivation to carry on as a structural engineer in the UK. But enjoyed few of your great videos and wish you a brighter future in the next steps you are taking
Hi Chordez, I am just moving out of engineering consultancy. Still related to engineering and will still be making content on structural engineering and should make better more interesting videos. I hope to keep motivating.
@@BrendanHasty I am aware of your endeavours and believe that you will share your knowledge anywhere you work and that proves your enthusiasm and love for helping others. You are a top man with lots of willingness to enrich our profession and I truly got inspired by your love for what you do. Good luck pal!
Happy for you, Brendan. Best of luck👍
Thanks for the support Nirmal.
I've quit consultancy and looking forward to my new role in a structural engineering software design company. Good luck Brendan, you've reinvigorated my passion for engineering with your videos.
Hi Patrick, thanks hope your new role is exciting. I hope my new content can keep driving your passion. Thanks for the support.
This is Amazing Brendan, wishing you all the best in this next chapter. You're a true inspiration. Keep at it 👏
I am currently in consultancy , how can I switch to structural engineering software design company . What is your journey for reaching to that . Please let us know
@@sohamtrivedi1312 fortunately sime of my passions outside of engineering lead me to get the opportunity to get an interview, plus I happened to have a good knowledge of the said software already, plus a little bit of luck. Do you have currently any unique experience that a software design company may want to utilise? If not, maybe keep an eye out for roles that they might be offering and aim to get experience in the requirements outlined in the job descriptions (i.e. certification in a programming language).
@@sohamtrivedi1312 I also changed from consultancy to engineering software 25 years ago. You will need to show both a passion for the product area plus relevant experience. What that experience is depends on what role you are looking for.
I started as a product manager, changed to sales and marketing, and am now customer service lead. In all cases I needed domain knowledge, technical excellence, and people skills.
If you want to develop the software itself then you need coding skills, preferably in the relevant language. VBA will not cut it, Python can be useful, but you will need something like C#, C++, or JavaScript (depending on the product).
Reading my book, Computational Engineering, may also help ;)
Good luck
Hi Brendan,
Loved the skit at the start, thanks for the videos, they show the industry in a positive light and your passion and professionalism have always shone through. I think I have watched them all as your career path has mirrored mine - I have also recently quit with the aim to start something that will "do things better". So, I will be keenly looking forward to see what you do next. I think the industry is open to disruption, the times are changing, good luck.
As an aside - I think its interesting there are very few engineers in consultancy with more than 15 years experience (except directors) where do they all go?
Hi Peter, I think at some point alot of engineering move out of the inductry or start there own business, I had never through about that but it is true. I have seem some step out of the industry, others move to small companies and others start there own consultancy. good luck on your journey.
congrats sir on your achievement hope succeed on your next journey
Hi Ali, thanks it should be exciting and lead to some great videos.
I hope you don't stop doing structural youtube videos. I being a structural engineer really enjoyed them and learned alot. Love your videos mate
I will keep making structural engineering videos, appreciate your support!
Was actually surprised to see this video just now; that is, after seeing your update from LinkedIn. I thought you'd just be juggling between your roles. But yeah, I completely understand. Once I saw the potential of tech development within our industry, it is indeed more exciting I suppose.
As I mentioned, I was just interviewed for a senior structural role (by your "previous" company, although not based in Melbourne). So to me, it seems like the other way around.
All the best with you new endeavour. I am certain you'd find lots of goods stuff. Cheers
Hi Mico, thank for the support it would have been too hard juggling 3 jobs. TH-cam is almost a full time job. Hope you get the position it is a great place where you can get some good opportunities. Good luck on your journey and hope my video still provide help and inspiration.
All the best, love that zbook 15 g6
It is a great laptop. 👍
I like math and physics and designing and creating new things but I hate endless meetings, dealing with the contractors, archiects and owners. Sometimes a projects goes through so many changes I forget the initial state of the project, my assumptions my design philosophy. It is a completely different animal than what you start with. You just try to make things work with minimal damage. It takes the joy out of your work.
Hi Serhat, sometimes you need to thrive in finding the most efficent solutions. but aggree at times it can suck the fun out of it
Congratulations on the change to Zuru Brendan. I look forward to seeing you at the trade shows.
Hi Peter, thanks it should be exciting, hope to see you there.
Congrats on your new journey and wish you have a greater future!
Thanks for the support.
Congratulations good luck with your new job
thanks Kimmy, you continued support is greatly appreacated.
Best of Luck man! I believe as hard as is the decision but is a very good one ! :)
Thanks mate!
Although i didn’t leave structural engineering, I too made a significant chance in my career path to a different industry. So, best of luck in your future endeavors. Also looking forward to new content.
Hi Norberto, I didn't completely leave engineering just engineering consulting. I still need to use my structural engineering skills they are just a small part of my new role. Thanks for the support.
nice music added a nice touch!
Good to see you move into more exciting ventures.
How are the job opportunities in Melbourne for structural engineers and project managers?
Hi JC there is lots engineerinf jobs in the melbouene market has picked up alot. Thanks for the support.
We are with you, Mate!!
Thanks for your support mate!
Got scared for a minute and thought you were quitting Engineering as a whole,you're an inspiration Brandon you've helped me understand our field more and gotten me excited about the prospects for Engineers out there, hoping to meet you one day and good luck with your future Endeavours.
lol I'm not really moving away from structural engineering, will take you on the journey with me. Really appreciate your support!
@@BrendanHasty No problem Brandon it's a thrill watching you do what you do,on a side note,I know this probably isn't the best space to ask this but I've just always had this idea that the things you're interested in helps in your creativity and since I first watched the movie 'inception' I've felt that all Engineers and architects should watch that movie too so they'll not only get entertained but also learn to think outside the box,my question is what do you think about this and also have you seen 'inception'?
@Muhammadnasir Abdulrazaq I have and totally agree too often engineering stick within their sand box but a building is holistic you need to look for solutions sometimes that are not the normal design and knowing everyone’s concern can make you find the best solutions.
@@BrendanHastyGood to know
Wow ! That is surprising but really curious now about what that "disrupt the building industry" really means. I have no doubt it will be revolutionary. Good luck. PS.you can quit a job but you can never quit the engineering mindset 😉
Hi Benjamin, it should hopefully be revolutionary only time will tell. Agree, you can never really stop being a engineer.
Hey Brendan! I am a student from UniMelb and you did pop in recenetly but I unfortunately couldnt'nt make it to the event. I am currently studying Masters of Civil Engineering (no specialisation, though I can still change to structural). I have done a few structural design related subjects and looking back, I can say that I enjoyed studying them. However, my question is regarding what particular field of Civil engineering (i.e. structural, hydraulics, geotechnical, etc.) has the greatest prospects in melbourne? (On a side note: you certainly got me with the zoom call entry ding at the beginning btw hahaha)
Hi Adhi, thanks for the support and hopefuly you can make it next time I present. as for greater pospect most feild have good prospects with all the infrastructure work. you should try and find out which one you enjoy the most. but if I had to pick on I would choose Structural.
all the best brendan.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the support.
good luck for the future
Thank you Talal!
Just found out you worked at WSP, lol. I've worked as a bridge engineer at WSP Vancouver for 3 years, just quit three months ago, and moved on to a different career path. Good luck with your new journey!
Hi Xiang, I loved working at WSP, but sometimes it it time to move on hope you are enjoying your new career move
@@BrendanHasty I feel you 100%! Have fun exploring new life!
Sir you are great...I just saw your video today and subscribed this channel...I am doing my masters in structural engineering...I enjoy your videos...thank for being with us in future also through this channel...love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Thanks Shrawan for stopping by, all the best to your studies!
I enjoy your insights and videos, I needed this in my early career years.
Do you feel constrained about the topics you can talk about as your clients are government or larger corporations.
My background is Construction and Civil and Building, coal fired power station and power transmission lines and many other projects.
I have found that, in future power supply, that nuclear is a popular topic and obviously it is a huge business opportunity.
Many are delighted with the zero CO2 and the new technologies.
My concerns are real and unfortunately appear complex to many.
I believe that Engineers are either lost in the technology and love it, or do not want to appear to be controversial.
As many engineers are in a conservative business environment, do you agree.
I believe only Construction Engineers can properly explain the downside but there is no upside to their career and we all have/had mortgages etc.
Do you agree?
Snap! You actually did quit. I thought it was click bait. 😂 Good luck to you!! Looking forward to more content. I resigned recently from my job, kinda, lol, but im on my own now. 🤞Keep posting man…
Hi Ivan, thanks for the support. Completely left engineering consulting, so it should be exciting and lead to some amazing content.
Hi Brendan, I'm currently an international student from Vietnam taking my first year of master of construction management in Melbourne. Is there any chance that I can get a part-time internship job prior to the work placement in the final year of uni without working experience in Australia? If not, what should I prepare to get a chance? I took my bachelor of civil engineering in Vietnam, so basically I'm familiar with structural engineering. I really hope you can give me some advice, thank you so much!!!!!
Hi Tung, I started part time work prior in 2nd year you just need to find the right company. but it isnt easy as there isnt that many role around. being willing to keep learning, and if you get the oppitunity make good use for it. I reccomend all engineers if they can start working prior to graduation. hope you can find somewhere, you may need to take some structural engineering classes but engineering is the same all around the world.
Hi @Tung Quach, if you don't mind that could you contact to me personally? I am currently studying bachelor civil engineering in VN. So I am curious and have a loads of questions what passion and path I need to go. Thank you very much and appreciated with your sharing.
You will reach the next goal soon for sure🥰
Thanks for your support!
Naww miss you Brendan!! Was a pleasure working with you and being able to learn off you! Hope I can be at least half the engineer you are one day 😊
Are you a structural engineer ?
It was also a pleasure working with you! We should keep in contact.
Best of luck in your future .
Thanks Brooks, your continued support is much appreacate. My new content on the video should be really exciting.
is it time to set up your own firm? excited to see your new goals. good luck in your future career sir!
I think it is more exciting, looking to distrupt the building industry. I will also be taking everyone on the journey.
Hi Brendan, what certifications are key to achieve (help in career growth) after completing bachelor's in Civil Engineering . E.g. I know PMP is one of them, what else would you recommend.
Thanks
Hi Ali, it really depend where in the world you are. in Australia you need to get charted with engineering Austalia, tho I would reccomend gettting charted with IstructE. but for career Growth you need to work on comminication, the engineers with the best comminication/soft skills get promoted the fastest.
Hi Brendan. All the best. I am also quitting structural (bridges) engineering end of September. I will pursue another opportunity as client's engineer for a renewable power producer.
All the best to your new endeavor!
Hi Brendan, this one was very close to home with me. I recalled taking that first step from project engineer to consultant when the company I worked for had a rough depression time. The project engineers had to take between a 40 to 60% pay cut and yes I was the one with the 60% cut. Though I decided to take my servants pay my boss wanted me to say on for 2 additional months which I did. After the 2 months were over, I went on an unknown but exciting journey. It's almost 10 years and I haven't regretted my decision. To this day, my ex-boss still seeks my services for some assignments. With that being said, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Hi Malik, thanks for support. Taking advantage of opportunities mostly lead to good things. And leaving in good terms is important as you never know when you may work together. Great to see that you had a good relationship our last employer, they must have missed to great to see that relationship is keeping strong.
I hope to keep inspiring
I know some companies have to layoffs some their employees. Also, they have to do hiring freeze. Some of their employees has big regrets from changing the workplace from great resignation times. Now, we call them the great resignation to mass layoffs/forced resignation, or great resignation to big regrets, etc. You not only one dealing with new workplace.
Hi Asia, jobs are picking up here is Australia, it is also a really exciting opitunity. realy once in a life time, hope it show it in my future content thanks for the concern and continued support.
All the best in your endeavors. Are any open opportunities that we might also be interested in?
there are some opportunities, check out the zuru tech website.
Good luck!!!!!!
thanks for the support.
Can you please make a video about what it takes to open a consulting business? How much experience do you need to open a business?
How competitive is this business?
All the best in the new role
Thank you!
@@BrendanHasty I also quit engineering consultancy 2yrs ago after doing 15yrs of structural engineering design. I just felt design was overrated and very reliant on software😅. I'm now in the asset integrity and management space in a heavy industry environment which I really "enjoy", a word that I rarely use during my consultancy days
Im in LD at kimley-horn right now but want to transition to structural. I got a job offer from wsp in land development but i want to go into structural instead.
Hi Greg I would still reccomend them if you get the oppintunity to work there. The transistion can be hard, hope you can make the transition and enjoy the move.
All the best Brendan for all your future endeavours. Hope you will still continue the videos in Engineering along with your new passions.
Thank you Deepak! I will take you all on my journey.
Brendan could you help me with - how to start freelancing & get clients quickly as a beginner autocad/revit engineer with 6 month of internship knowledge in design of hvac projects ? What points to keep in mind while starting & how to build trust initially without being stuck in competition of the market & get paid well as an effective freelancer ?
Hi Mohib being new it will be hard for people to trust you, you will likely need to provide some cheap services to rpove your worth. you need to track the time things take, typically any jobs you take will be short term so you will want to riase your rate after getting your foot in the door. just remeber you are only as good as your last jobs.
@@BrendanHasty Thanks man ! It will be great to see you making another video on this topic like creating unique portfolio, attracting clients by pitching properly, presenting our value, closing etc as engineers nowadays are very behind in the game of money in comparison with IT professionals who have dominated due to technological boom.
I hope you are already enjoying your new role 🤠
Hi Soumya it has been really good, exciting times. thanks for watching.
I appreciate the fact that you're getting out of your comfort zone and exploring yourself, also I am really curious about what made you quit and after all these years why do you want to take another road? It would be great if you did a video about this.
Hi Abdullatif, it was a really exciting opportunity that I just couldn't resist. Will definitely make a videos about this. Appreciate your support mate.
Congratulations.
Many times I tried to leave structural engineering job, but couldn't.
Hi Shamsul, thanks for the support. it really is how determined your are.
I just quit my role as a graduate structural consultant!! I Will be working in a tier 1 construction company and Im super excited. While I enjoyed structural engineering, I know ill never be happy working a 9-5 in an office where career and salary progression is minimal.
Hope you enjoy your new role, also thanks for watching and the support.
Sir, i am an new college student of civil engineering, and i want to know what u reccomend job of civil engineering with high salary, would one u reccomend me to work on consultancy/engineer or contractor company
WSP is one of the toughest consultancy. Extremely long working hours, constant OT
The initial zoom sound brought back trauma. Legit thought I was in a meeting room
start your own firm - best of luck Mr Hasty
Hi Peter, I should one day in the future. thanks for the encouragement
Exciting news, Brendan! I hope you're joining the fantastic world of engineering software next!!
thanks for the support Tribby.
HEY dont quit yet- I was going to ask you to help me with a roof. I am trying to build a house and I got no roof framing plan. Is anyone out there interested in a side hustle lol? I am in arizona USA Contrats on your new future job Brendan I have enjoyed your videos
Thank you! I'm enjoying my new job.
Wow
thanks Abdullah
my dad is a civil and structural engineer. he just retired, in the the place where the chair that the receptionist used to sit is a life size poster of my dad holding up his middle finger with a cartoon balloon that says " F you, i said i'm retired" When he answers his phone he cheerfully says "Hi, i'm retired" and usually within less than a minute he says even more cheerfully "F you, i'm retired" I wonder if he means it this time.
Hi Dirtude I have found a lot of engineers finding it hard to retire I think we mostly enjoy it too much and dont know what to do with the free time.
I'm doing structural engineering in india. I don't know whether there's scope for it. But i like doing it.
Hi Namith, there is need for engineers in India, but most importanlly you need to enjoy it. goodluck on your journey
@@BrendanHasty i worked as a site engineer for a year, back breaking 10hr/day with no weekends. It feels good doing what i love, literally for less than the construction workers.
I quit, because enough was enough then I moved to the home of my parents, studied phd by not working for a few years and now I became an academician. legend is back:):)
Hi Adromeda, you need to enjoy what you do, sounds like you made the right choice. Wishing you luck on your Journey
New journey man , time to give back something to us , why don't you launch some courses on structural design topics , or right books , books that are cheap and everyone can purchase
Thanks for your support Alex! To have some detailed courses is on my plan, in what particular topics do you think people are interested in?
@@BrendanHasty seismic connection design as per AS 4100 is one of my topic
How was your student life while you was pursuing masters in structure
Hi mate, I didn't get masters.
@@BrendanHasty oh wow how did you get so much knowledge and experience even without masters
How ur managing ur expenses after quitting job?
Hi Swarup, I found a new direction still in engineering, which was sneak peeked in the video
As a struct engg is just loosi ng time and money
I like working from home; no interest in ever setting foot in an office again. That environment looked nauseating.
Is your next job will be related to civil engineering too ?
it is still around structural design but no longer in consulting. hoping to disrupt the building industry
I will do furture videos on it
@@BrendanHasty good luck in your next journey
We are waiting for the next videos🙌
@@BrendanHasty That sounds Interresting. The building industry can be quite traditional in some ways, especially the clients. Failure costs are still quite high in my experience with some projects due to this. Also smaller companies in the building industry still struggle to adopt BIM due to barrier to entry.
Haha, can feel you
Amrish puri ko notice Kiya any one
Are you moving to contractor or what
There was a sneak peak in the video of where I am moving to.
y uno sin trabajo
iam fla fresher can u arrange one civil engineer job for me
Better go to finance
Wait, you work at wsp?
Used to.
@@BrendanHasty that's awesome, I did my masters in structural engineering from UNSW Sydney, after that i came back to india coz it was so hard to find a job there. Also I felt homesick. I worked here in a local consultancy for more than 3 years and now I got an opportunity in wsp india. I will be joining soon. I am also going to my uni to have a chat with students from civil/structures . It's going to be amazing.
i burnt my own bridges the first time in family personal relationships but i learned my lesson
Hi Colin it can be easy to do, structural engineering is a small field and words can travel fast. Lesson learned- live and move on.
Hie sir
Thanks for the support
Thankq can you support us
I quit consultancy to join government, already regretting 2 months in
Hi Onefela, you never know if you dont try. you can always go back.
Good
