I am trying to transfer my Maine PE license to New York State, but I have been having trouble getting my write-up through the NY board of education. Last time I applied (September 2017) they wrote back that they wanted to see two more years of experience (which is why I drove to Maine to take the exam.) Since September 2017, I worked for about one and a half years doing construction management and 8 months as an ATL (Assistant Team Lead) on a bridge inspection team.
In all honesty, I do not feel like most of the work that I have done is really engineering but I am being advised to just re-submit the application to see where I stand. In my current position, I feel like 70% of what I do is hit concrete with a hammer (sounding concrete), and 30% is simple CAD sketches...The only design work that I have done in my current position is some load calculations for a bridge repair jacking but it probably adds up to 0.001% of my time in the last 8 months...
My supervisor is a PE (as required by NYS law) but he said that when he applied for his PE years ago, he had to temporarily transfer to our structures group for 2 years before they let him sit for the exam.
Does anyone have any advice on buzz words or examples of PE write-ups for bridge inspection that they could share? I would really like to avoid transferring laterally in my current agency just to transfer my license from Maine, and then transfer again when I want to take a promotion.
Thanks!
