Engineering in RE (career change suggestions)

[Dustin Beam]

Hello beautiful people of BP, 

This is an atypical post, and not necessarily in the perfect sub-forum, but can't find a more fitting one. 

Long story short, I'm considering a career change that can use my current skills and also help me learn more about REI and/or RE development.

I'm currently a project manager at an engineering firm. I used to do, and sometimes still do, HVAC and plumbing design for commercial projects. So I have regular contact with architects and obviously other engineers. So I work on real estate all the time, but in a different capacity. 

With that in mind, please note that I am not soliciting a job here. I would appreciate any suggestions on what I could actually do, or types of jobs I should my resume to. I would like to think that I could be valuable in house to companies that are redefining spaces where I could assess the mechanical needs for the reconfigured space(s). 

Anyway, any thoughts that could help me "start out" another career is more than welcome. I don't know what I don't know!
