Project Manager

Project engineers oversee development stages for a wide range of projects and products. A project engineer's job is to apply knowledge in engineering and project management and lead a team of workers employed on a building or production project. The term project engineer can refer to the same job as project manager in some cases, but most frequently the two professions work side by side on various projects. Project engineers typically perform tasks such as scheduling and resource forecasting, and they make sure that financial forecasts are accurate and that projects are progressing as planned. They manage the project team's training and are frequently both the primary liaison to the client and the person coordinating teams of workers from different specialty disciplines. Project engineers are responsible for the overall quality control on any given project. If they are employed in the construction industry, project engineers typically perform the tasks of a project manager or site assistant in charge of field operations management. Their job titles can be construction engineer, field engineer, assistant project manager, or construction project engineer. Job Specification

Project engineers must have a strong understanding of economics, science, mathematics, engineering, and relevant laws and legal regulations. Excellent communication skills are essential, as project engineers are responsible not only for interpreting the client's needs but also for training junior engineers and other team members, and coordinating several groups of people with different sets of skills. Project management skills, decision-making ability, leadership, and organizational skills are just as important because project engineers manage both the teams working in the field and third-party contractors. It is important that they are able to explain project plans clearly. A high level of mobility and a driver's license are usually required because project engineers typically split their time between the site and the office.
