PE Jobs
Please note that we have expanded our “Employment” section of TheProfessionalEngineer.com to now also include the ability to search job listings. Visiting http://jobs.theprofessionalengineer.com will provide you with a list of licensed professional engineer jobs near you. You can modify the search. You can change the “what” – you can enter a job title, keyword, or company name that meets your needs. The “where” is optional – but you can enter your city, state, or zip code.
The job listings are provided by indeed.com. Indeed.com is “a search engine for jobs, allowing job seekers to find jobs posted on thousands of company career sites and job boards.”
Here are some tips gathered from indeed.com that will help you in refining your job search:
-
Jobs will be returned that match your keywords within 25 miles of the location you specify. If you enter two or more keywords, it will return only those jobs that contain ALL your words (you don’t have to include ‘and’ between the words).
-
To find jobs containing an exact phrase, put double quotation marks around the words. For example, enter: “professional engineer”
-
The search isn’t case sensitive. It makes no difference whether you enter upper or lower case letters
-
To exclude jobs containing certain keywords. Just type “not” before any terms you don’t want. For example, engineer NOT civil
-
To find all jobs that fit your interest use ‘or’ between terms. If you are looking for a management position, for example, you could enter: manager OR director. This will return all jobs that contain either the word ‘manager’ or the word ‘director’.
-
Some names and phrases are better known by their abbreviations than their full forms. To make sure you don’t miss any jobs, however, use both abbreviated and un-abbreviated forms together. For example, enter: PE OR “professional engineer”
-
You may limit your search to show just jobs from a particular company. For example, company:Bechtel
-
You may limit your search to show just jobs with a specific job title. For example, title:consultant
-
If there are multiple words in the company name or job title, use double quotation marks. For example: title:”senior engineer”
-
You can use complex phrases, often called ‘Boolean’ logic, to fine-tune your search. For example, (manager OR director) and engineer
-
You can keep revising your search string to improve your results set. The example above could end up looking like this: (manager OR director) and (licensed OR registered) and engineer NOT structural
