What is an EIT (Engineer-in-Training)?

An EIT, or Engineer-in-Training, is an individual who has completed the educational requirements for becoming a professional engineer and has passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The EIT designation is a step toward obtaining a Professional Engineer (PE) license and is often required for entry-level engineering positions. EITs work under the supervision of licensed engineers and gain practical experience needed to qualify for the PE exam in the future.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an EIT, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT), you need a solid background in engineering fundamentals, typically demonstrated by an accredited engineering degree and passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. Familiarity with industry-specific software such as AutoCAD, MATLAB, or project management tools is often required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills set exceptional EITs apart. These competencies ensure accurate technical work, effective project collaboration, and readiness for eventual licensure as a Professional Engineer.

What are some common challenges EITs face when transitioning from academic studies to a professional engineering environment?

EITs often encounter challenges such as adapting to project timelines, understanding industry-specific standards, and effectively communicating technical ideas to non-engineering colleagues. The shift from academic projects to real-world engineering tasks frequently requires learning new software tools and adhering to safety or regulatory guidelines. Additionally, EITs must balance the desire to contribute ideas with the need to listen and learn from more experienced team members. Proactively seeking mentorship and asking questions can ease this transition and accelerate professional growth.

What is the difference between Eit vs Civil Engineer?

AspectEitCivil Engineer
CredentialsPassed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, often a prerequisite for licensureTypically holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and may have professional licensure
Work EnvironmentEntry-level roles, assisting senior engineers in design, analysis, and project supportDesign, project management, and oversight responsibilities in construction and infrastructure projects
Industry UsageUsed as a credential for entry into civil engineering roles, often a stepping stone to licensureLicensed professional engineers (PE) with broader responsibilities and authority

The Eit (Engineer-in-Training) is an entry-level credential obtained after passing the FE exam, serving as a foundation for a career in civil engineering. Civil Engineers typically have licensure and take on more advanced responsibilities. The Eit often works under supervision, while Civil Engineers can lead projects and make independent decisions once licensed.

HDR is currently seeking an Electrical Engineer EIT/Coordinator to work as an integral part of the industrial and commercial facilities team in our Denver, Colorado office. The primary role of the Electrical Engineer EIT/Coordinator is to perform electrical engineering and design assignments under the guidance and mentorship of senior staff electrical engineers. Project assignments may include healthcare, higher education, renewable energy systems, water/wastewater, mining, oil & gas, data center/mission-critical, industrial, and institutional campus facilities. Detailed electrical design is the primary focus of this position, with cross-training in Instrumentation & Controls/Automation.

The EIT/Coordinator will be involved in performing detailed system calculations, drawing production, project specification editing, and will perform assignments using standard engineering techniques and procedures. The EIT may conduct field investigations and condition assessments, make construction observations, and assist in startup and commissioning of new and modified systems.

The EIT/Coordinator will participate in portions of the engineering work for a major project, or several smaller but complex projects within the specific discipline. 

Project assignments are expected to be primarily in the Colorado/Rocky Mountain area, although assignment to projects located in other geographies is possible.
