    • found: What is consulting engineering?, via Engineering legacies website, July 20, 2016(Engineers in consulting engineering companies come from virtually every discipline and specialty. These engineers are often referred to as consulting engineers and they participate in project teams to help the consulting engineering firm deliver services to its clients. Opportunities within projects can range from purely scientific or technical roles to coordinating or managerial roles, and combinations thereof depending on the type and size of the project. In many cases, consulting engineers will find themselves coordinating the efforts and activities of other project team members including other disciplines and specialties to ensure effective project delivery. Other consulting engineers will find themselves entirely specialized within their sphere of expertise. This provides a great variety of opportunities for engineers working within the firms.)
