Moving up after PE License
Moving up after PE License
(OP)
Hello
I recently passed the PE exam for Geotechnical. I was wondering how I can speak to my principals about moving up to become a project manager now that I'm a PE. I don't want to be in the field so often and prefer more of an office environment and tasks. I've done my 10,000 hours in the field already (at a previous company). It's time for a new chapter. There are five others in our company who are not PEs but have taken more of a PM role without the title. They've been at the company longer than I have as I switched to this current company a year ago. I feel like they might be an issue if I "leap frog" these five coworkers. I also fear they might not even give me the role or title of PM because of it.

Do your principals know your desire to move onto that career track? If you have the skills and desire to pursue that track, a decent employer will help you get there.
