The Engineering of Communication Towers With Sudarshan Kasera, PE, PMP


Listen Later

Here’s a career path that doesn’t even come to mind when you hear “Structural Engineering,” but uses the same basic knowledge and it’s just as lucrative — Telecommunications. 📡 👇

This week, we sit down with Sudarshan Kasera, P.E., PMP, a Structural Engineer by education who now applies all that knowledge of the design of buildings and bridges to designing communication towers across the US at Crown Castle. 📶

In this episode, Sudarshan breaks down how he managed to get into this “niche of a niche” career (almost)…and why it’s a good idea for other civil engineers to consider as well — plus how to do it.

What codes and standards do you need to know? Which software do you need to learn? What licenses do you need to get? 🤔

Whether you're a young engineer looking for a career path that’s not the traditional fields, or a practicing engineer curious about a new direction, it’s all in here for you! 😉 🎧
