Why Young Engineers Are Job-Hopping

Structural engineering firms are scrambling to keep new talent, but it’s not just about flashy projects or big paychecks. Young engineers want real responsibility, meaningful work, and fast-track licensure. Perks like profit sharing, flexible schedules, and solid parental leave are huge draws. Regular feedback and mentorship? Non-negotiable. And if you’re not offering professional development or a hybrid work setup, you’re missing out. Culture matters too—innovation, social impact, and a sense of purpose are what keep them around! #EngineeringCareers #WorkplaceTrends #TalentRetention #StructuralEngineering #GenZWorkforce #JobCareer
