Engineers Wanted: BETI's Insight into the 2023 Boom

Hey there, future industry movers and shakers! Whether you're a seasoned engineer, a business leader in the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) industry, or a high school grad exploring exciting career paths, this blog post is for you.


Right now, the MEP industry is buzzing both at home and abroad. From construction booms to technology reshaping projects, it's a thrilling time to be in this dynamic field.


Growth and Opportunity, at Home and Beyond

Globally, we're seeing big numbers in engineering services. Expectations are to reach a whopping $1.38 trillion in spending by 2026, a growth rate of 6.6%. Beyond our shores, companies like Abengoa from Spain, Babcock International from the UK, and SNC-Lavalin Group from Canada are making waves. On the international front, developing nations are experiencing construction booms, forecasted to drive the global construction market to a stunning $15.5 trillion by 2030.


But what about the home front? The U.S. is not just watching the game; it's playing a leading role.

Engineering in the US: Opportunities and Challenges

The U.S. is a hotspot for engineering services, especially in states like California, Florida, and Texas. Despite the intricate maze of laws, the requirement of detailed project records, and potential environmental fines, the industry is thriving.


However, a pressing challenge is the skill gap. The industry demands "job-ready" engineers who can do more than follow set processes. Unfortunately, only about half of employers feel that engineering graduates meet this criterion, signaling an urgent need for practical skills and innovative training.

BETI: Bridging the U.S. Skill Gap

This is where the Building Engineer Training Institute (BETI) comes in. We're here to prepare the next generation of engineers to meet the industry's evolving demands. We go beyond textbook learning, equipping our students with practical skills and innovative mindsets that will set them apart in this competitive industry.

Seize the Opportunity

There's more good news for those looking at engineering as a career choice. The average starting salary for engineering graduates in the U.S. is around a solid $70,000. The demand for skilled workers is expected to rise as a significant number of current engineers are reaching retirement age, signaling promising job prospects for new entrants.

Stepping into the Future

In conclusion, the MEP industry is in the fast lane, and despite the challenges, the opportunities are astounding, especially here in the U.S. BETI is committed to guiding you through this vibrant landscape, bridging the skill gap, and equipping our graduates for the world of engineering.
