Career Opportunities

Forensic engineers may be employees of large corporations or government agencies. However, most forensic engineers are employed by small firms or are self-employed. Some perform their forensic services on a part-time basis or in addition to their other work (e.g., a college professor providing forensic engineering consultations). The competent, ethical, credible, and professional forensic engineer is in high demand now and will be in the foreseeable future.
