Jay and Rafi host Julia, an HVAC engineer and ASHRAE leader, and discuss navigating careers across contracting, consulting, and manufacturers’ rep roles. She shares how early co-op experience and a decade of ASHRAE service shaped her leadership, why personality fit (engineering depth vs. sales energy) matters, and how engineers and contractors view projects differently. Julia also dives into ethical decision-making for PEs and practical advice for early-career engineers.
