I am in HVAC right now, but spent most of my 10 years in mechanical engineering in either DDC controls (for HVAC), instrumentation manufacturing (for liquid level control) and HVAC equipment manufacturing (again, mostly controls-related).
I just earned my PE license and although I realise I still have a lot to learn, I am considering breaking away and beginning my own engineering firm. It may be just me for a while. It may be just me forever.
I am looking for ideas for someone with my background.
What types of clients might I pursue?
What types of work mught I pursue?
I am not so much interested in nuts and bolts, strict engineering design work, although I can do that if necessary. I am skilled in AutoCAD and have worked to design control systems as well as to program DDC controllers for HVAC control systems. In addition, I have done some trouble shooting for controls and equipment related to VAV units and electric heaters.
I appreciate any thoughts.
