Engineering Services
How engineering services are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
About 65% of the work in Engineering Services is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.
Why: Because the occupation roll-up lacks known digital values, the scalar is derived from the NAICS lens description. The industry primarily relies on knowledge-based work like 'preparation of preliminary and final plans and designs' and 'feasibility studies' (highly digital), but also explicitly involves on-site 'technical services during the construction or installation phase' and 'inspection and evaluation' (physical presence). This blend of heavy desk-based analysis and required field verification places it firmly in the upper-hybrid band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Engineering Services sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Engineering Services inherits.
Engineering Services is itself composed of 9 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
Autonomous Agents as digital employees
Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Engineering Services employs 291 occupations — the workforce whose routine, information-shaped tasks an autonomous stack can take under typed authority.
