A forensic structural engineer handles the investigation and inspection of building structures to ensure compliance with industry regulation and discover reasons for failure. Your primary responsibilities in this career have you analyzing damage to structures, identifying causes of structural failures, and preparing reports on your findings. Your duties may also include developing protocols for dealing with compliance issues, reviewing photos and site information, and researching code specifications. A forensic structural engineer often works on multiple projects, visits various field sites, and collaborates with several team members.
| Aspect | Forensic Structural Engineer | Structural Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Engineering degree, PE license, specialized training in failure analysis | Engineering degree, PE license, design and analysis certifications |
| Work Environment | Investigations, courtrooms, consulting firms | Design firms, construction sites, consulting |
| Industry Usage | Legal cases, failure investigations, insurance claims | Building design, construction projects, infrastructure |
While both roles require engineering credentials and involve structural analysis, forensic structural engineers focus on investigating structural failures and providing expert testimony, whereas structural engineers primarily design and analyze structures for new projects. The forensic role is more investigative and often involves legal or insurance contexts, while the structural engineer role is centered on construction and design.
