Edward Werkmann Celebrates Promotion to Project Manager For a guy like Edward Werkmann, it has been a long time coming that he would achieve a managerial role in the civil engineering industry. At twenty six years old, the ambitious young professional has already earned himself such a superior title without having received his Professional Engineer license yet. But the lack of a PE credential is perhaps the only thing holding Edward Werkmann back from becoming an independently successful structural engineer. The rest of his resume shouts promise to prospective employers, letting them know all the hard work and dedication he has put towards his field of choice. It all started back when Edward Werkmann was in high school. He was attending Metro Classical and Academic Academy when he decided to devote his free time to shelving books at the nearby Schlafly Library. Edward loved to read, and embraces the volunteer work as a way to surround himself with books on a regular basis. He read many books on the subject of engineering that gave him an advanced knowledge on the subject and a competitive edge in the college arena. He ended up spending so much time shelving and reading books there that the St. Louis Public Library System named him “Teen Volunteer of The Year” in 2004. His appetite for knowledge only got more insatiable in his college career. He enrolled in a joint program between Washington University and University of Missouri- St. Louis that earned him a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering and a Fundamentals of Engineering certificate. Within four years he had reached Engineer-in-Training status, the last certificate needed before going through the four-year Professional Engineer licensing process. Edward Werkmann graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors in 2010. After completing school and an internship for University City, Edward Werkmann’s resume had already looked strong as he entered the workforce. His name had caught the attention of St. Louis’ county government, who brought him on as an Assistant Resident Engineer. After working a few successful projects under their direction, Edward’s title lost one word and gained much respect as Resident Engineer. In 2014, he was assigned to a $365,000 project in Lemay, MO that, to Edward Werkmann’s surprise, had him listed as “Project Manager”. While still a few years out of receiving his Professional Engineer license, Edward Werkmann has filled a resume that already displays managerial positions in his field. Once he receives that PE, it’s a safe assumption Edward Werkmann will be off to tackle many exciting projects in his near future.
