Engineering consultants perform numerous duties and manage large groups of people. And (as is always the case with large groups), an issue or two are bound to occur. Guess what? Engineering consultants are expected to solve them on the go.
Being a successful engineering consultant starts with a proper assessment of the situation. Quite often, it happens that the client needs a completely different skill set than the one they think they do. It is a consultant’s job to advise the client and, ultimately, find the solution to the issue. Presenting it, however, often calls for some diplomatic skills. The consultant needs to explain that the client won’t achieve the goal by using their specialty.
