WANTED: SKILLED LABOR - A robust economy strains the ranks of a qualified workforce

摘要

Most electrical engineers are stymied by two seemingly insurmountable business truths. First, projects are usually contracted by architects or building owner subordinates. Second, aggressively negotiated contracts are typically limited to design and construction administration - if you're lucky. So once the building is complete, there is no longer a need for an electrical engineer to remain under contract. Unless the architect has another project available or the building owner is moving to complete another edifice, the customer relationship is over - until the electrical engineer is called upon to bid on another specific project opportunity.
