Engineering project management is a specialty that covers the activities related to the creative work undertaken on a systemic basis. It’s also about drawing on existing knowledge gained from research or practical experience, which helps the engineering project manager produce new materials, install new processes or improve those already produced or installed.
Engineering project managers have diverse responsibilities such as meeting with stakeholders, project engineers and technical tradesmen to brief project planning, budgeting and resource management efforts. They are also generally responsible for the status of project execution and deliverables to facilitate the identification of existing or new work needed to accomplish the project goals and objectives.
This position also demands an excellent communicator who must oversee costs, schedules and technical performance. As documents are produced at each stage of a project, it’s the engineering project manager’s job to ensure that they conform to regulatory, statutory, sponsor and stakeholder requirements.
Succinctly put, scope, time, and cost management are at the heart of successful project management.
Needless to say, the engineering project manager wears a lot of hats, which translates into a position in much demand with an average salary of $108,328 per year in the United States.
The engineering project manager follows set principles to accomplish all the work necessary to complete a project. One such principle is framework, as in having standard operating procedures in place. While every project is different, the basics are more or less the same every time. More importantly, projects follow the same standardized process from conception through close-out.
A solid framework can save engineering project managers mental energy and time from not having to re-create wheels on activities or tasks that happen over and over.
