We’re proud to announce that Bridget Elsemore has earned her Professional Engineering (PE) License in New Hampshire! After rejoining our team last year, Bridget has established herself as a valuable civil engineer out of our Portsmouth office.
Bridget has over 13 years of experience in drainage, roadway, stormwater management, grading, site design, and permitting, as well as in geotechnical field and lab testing and inspection. She is proficient in the use of AutoCAD (LDD and Civil 3D), HydroCAD, AutoTurn, and more recently has been working on solar facility projects. Bridget was previously with our group for four years before moving out of state and we are delighted to have her back!
Though the PE designation at the end of an engineer’s name may seem like a small abbreviation to add, it has to be earned through years of hard work. Not only does a PE-hopeful have to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited school, but they also have to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam to become an Engineer in Training (EIT or EI, depending on the state). Then, the EIT must work for four years under one or more Professional Engineers in the field. After successfully meeting these requirements, the EIT can apply to take the PE exam, and if they pass, the PE designation lets them sign and seal engineering plans and reports.
All of the hard work that goes into becoming a PE deserves recognition! Please join us in congratulating Bridget on this achievement!
