Forensic Engineering Talent Solutions

Forensic engineering requires deep technical expertise combined with the ability to communicate complex findings to lawyers, judges, and juries — a rare combination that makes qualified candidates extremely hard to find.

Most forensic engineers come from 10–20 years of design or construction experience before transitioning to forensic work, creating a naturally small and senior talent pool.

Demand for forensic engineers has surged with increases in construction litigation, insurance claims, and natural disaster investigations — far outpacing supply.

Expert witness work requires specific deposition and trial experience that can't be trained quickly, making lateral hires from general engineering firms challenging.

Many forensic firms are boutique or regional, limiting career paths and making it difficult to attract talent away from larger design firms without strong compensation packages.
