If you have passed your FE - that would help, but may not be required.

For what it's worth, the guys we had coming into our A/E firm from the Industrial setting who had to start at newbie level level. Yes, they had design background, but it just wasn't the same as putting an entire building together. Unless you were designing entire building systems analyzing lateral you will probably you should expect an entry level position.

Companies can train/mentor you for the engineering, but it is more difficutlt to train/develop professional maturity.
Companies will look at that as well.

Yes, I think they'd still hire you if you have the right attitude and are clear that you want to pursue this path. If you come in wishy washy they'll think you wont stick around, and surely wont pay you for "professional experience"
