How do I ask this without giving out too much information? I work in power generation and transmission with experience in distribution, its a very small industry in terms of at or just above my level everyone knows each other. I'm pretty sure I've worked with or know some of the other goons in this field without knowing for sure.

I'm looking at every option to get out of my current job where I've been underemployed for a while now but keeps me in the field. Without getting too specific think of my current job as a combo of relay and test, controls engineer, power tester, electrician, and so on. How do I move up to SME, professional test witness, or site manager type work.

I'm tired of fixing the half assed work of these engineering firms for a a third what their site guys get paid for more hours than they work. These companies start with Bur.. McD..... , Dash..... , Qualit... , Sar.... & Lund... and they all suck to some degree or another because they gently caress up simple poo poo constantly. How can I be proactive, but profitably for me?

I don't work for a utility but as a vendor rep at a lot of different utilities, we seem to do a lot more than the other vendor reps I've worked with. The biggest handicap I have is no 4 yr degree and no PE license, what I do have is 17 years of experience with 8 of it in the field.
