This is a demo case file: a realistic example written from commonly known interview formats, not a real candidate's interview experience.

Questions asked

  1. How would you check whether a simply supported steel beam is adequate for a given load?
  2. What causes cracking in reinforced concrete, and how is it controlled?
  3. Describe a project where you had to balance cost, safety and schedule.

What to expect

Fundamentals rather than code clauses: bending, shear and deflection checks in plain terms. They asked about my plans towards chartership and how I check my own calculations.
