Structural Forensic Work
Structural Forensic Work
(OP)
What is the story behind the all the job openings for structural engineering forensic work? Is there really that much litigation and insurance activity? Are these firms typically sweatshops that have constant turnover of engineers?
It would seem that such a niche engineering market would not take many structural engineers at all to soon be saturated, but from the plethora of job postings, this does not seem to be the case.
Just curious. Thanks.

I'm guessing also that a lot of the condos/apartments that were built in the housing boom before 2008 are starting to exhibit their issues. The company I used to work for was involved in this line of work to a small degree. It's sad walking onto a developer based beach condo project where all the units were built poorly and won't last. Meanwhile, the developer's LLC is probably long gone and the contractor is the one on the hook. Not that I feel sorry for the contractor, but it's just unfortunate that this happens.
