I am an engineer by trade but focus mostly on commercial projects. Often people overlook engineers because they don’t see what we do and if I was in their shoes I can understand. Most of the time we sit and think through designs and when we show up on site with pen and papers looking like we don’t belong.

To your septic tank I am kind of surprised your city don’t have an inspections department to review stamped drawings before construction. Sucks you have to work on it every three years.
