Class of 2030: the hiring decline may start before you graduate
Designers and engineers now produce their own drawings with BIM and AI, so entry drafting, a support role with no licence or sign-off, shrinks first. Fabrication drawings with tight tolerances slow full handover, and part of the decline comes from BIM rather than AI.

The countdown is the time left until AI is expected to start cutting hiring for this major’s grads. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
