Consulting engineers are licensed professionals in the private sector who provide design services and expertise to both public and private entities. They are integral in shaping our communities and our world—designing our highways, bridges, tunnels and transit systems; modern buildings, schools and hospitals; energy-efficient mechanical, electrical and fire safety systems; and water and wastewater treatment plants.
In addition to preliminary and final design services, consulting engineers can provide feasibility studies, environmental impact studies, supervision and inspection of construction work, and technical advice and assistance.
