Abstract
As engineers advance through their careers, their experience in survey, hydraulics, scour analysis, environmental considerations, permits, maintenance of traffic, and other design elements make them excellent candidates to transition into PM roles. In this session, two bridge engineers who now manage complex road and bridge projects and help mentor staff to similar opportunities will share their experiences and provide advice to those seeking management positions.
