Categories include
A sample, not the full list — these programs restructure their categories between years. Consulting-Specifying Engineer publishes the current one.

What it signals when you’re hiring
Metro Associates’ own read, not Consulting-Specifying Engineer’s.

Roles whose work ends up in an entry like this
