(OP)
I have a question as it relates to structural engineering. I am a PE with some structural expierience. I am now in a field which requires some structural design which is outside my area of expertise. Therefore, I am having to learn new things quickly as the design schedules are tight. I am considering my career options. If I did not want to do design anymore, what would be some other career paths I could take?
Thanks in advance for the advice,

Since when is a project manager a technical specialist?

If you are not feeling comfortable designing in the new field you are in, I would suggest that you consider moving back to the previous field you were in. It appears that your career options require more learning before you can be fully proficient in them.

with a structural (and civil?) background, you might be able to transition to a special inspections kind of person where you basically manage and are the point of contact for the special inspections performed within a company.
however, with any job, i doubt you will ever stop learning. but maybe you can find something that allows you to progress at a more reasonable/comfortable rate in a field that you can enjoy more.
