Spotlight on Degenkolb Engineers - Licensure

This month we highlight Degenkolb Engineers’ commitment to professional licensure as a core element of career development. See “Competing for Engineering Talent” Informed Infrastructure April 2025 for background.

Degenkolb promotes licensure through financial assistance and dedicated time for exam preparation and completion, along with structured early-career development. The firm’s reimbursement guidelines outline coverage of exam fees, approved study materials, review courses, and paid examination time, reinforcing its commitment to professional growth.

 Michael Braund, SE, PE, Chief Operating Officer at Degenkolb, shared: “We intentionally give our engineers exposure to a broad range of projects, materials, and design challenges so they can build the experience required for licensure. At Degenkolb, licensure isn’t just encouraged — it’s foundational to professional growth. We advance that journey through meaningful project work, mentorship, and schedule flexibility during the exam process. Our people are our business, and investing in their development is how we strengthen the firm.”

Some of the key licensure support offered by Degenkolb:

• Broad exposure to diverse project work (facilitated by 10 offices in North America)
• Study resources, courses, exam fees and travel costs for local exams
• Shared study material and mentoring
• Company-wide recognition and a bonus for successful licensure.
