Land Development Engineer Supply
(OP)
For the past 15 years, our Northern Virginia-based land development engineering firm struggled to hire and retain top talent, to meet the needs of our owner developer clients. In fact, on many, many occasions, we had to turn away work because we didn't have the staff to take it on. That is frustrating!
Have any of you had similar experiences? So then, how do you grow in size and profitability?

Does your firm provide an incentive for passing the PE or getting more education? If not, an ambitious person may decide to work somewhere else that will pay better once they get registered.
There is a good chance that things will slow down and you will not have to worry about turning work away - you will be trying to keep busy.

Better compensation usually comes with it.
You could raise your rates a bit.

To be competitive you must offer similar or better than your competition to attract the talent you seek. Managerial interaction with employees is next. Do you lead by example? train and nurture their careers? Or use intimidation and fear to motivate? If the salaries are high, an employee can put up with a lot of bull, but if not, they watch the clock and keep an eye out for the first available job that offers more.
In order for a company to remain in business, it must be profitable, but if the owner of a privately owned company is driving a Rolls Royce and the employee a Honda, then the owner complains about not making enough profit, well, there is something wrong with that picture.
