What is it like working as a Project Manager, Engineering?
January 2016
Small Company Project Manager - MN.
Project Manager, Engineering:
Pros: Travel, responsibility, and designing/building cool engineered systems.
Cons: Long hours, and deadlines.
December 2015
Contract is better than salary for Proj Manager type work.
Project Manager, Engineering:
The oil and chemical industries will always be busy and they pay well. Being a contractor (instead of salary) often pays better and is less stressful. As you get older you are less marketable so don't stay a contractor forever. Salary people look down on contractors, just be aware. I love being paid hourly.
December 2015
Learn it and learn it well.
Project Manager, Engineering:
Soak up what you can from your managers. They have a lot of knowledge and in no time at all can bring you up to speed with their skillset.
December 2015
Project Manager, Engineering:
Pros: Company culture.
Meaningful relationships.
New challenges.
Cons: Sense of entitlement.
Lack of accountability.
Lack of leadership.
Lack of upward mobility.
November 2015
Nuclear Pressure Cooker.
Project Manager, Engineering:
If you are interested in a stressful environment in the highly regulated nuclear industry , then Nuclear Project management could be your ticket to a long term career. It takes a certain breed to accept no recognition from either the client or the company for a job well done. The only gratification is the compensation is much better than average and there is no one behind you trying to take your job.
November 2015
A little to corporate.
Project Manager, Engineering:
Pros: Locally we run like a small office. I get to pursue the project opportunities that interest me. Good regional managers.
Cons: Corporately they are trying to solve issues that, for a company of this size, should have been dealt with a long time ago.
November 2015
Acurate salary.
Project Manager, Engineering:
Please give me accurate salary statement.
