Engineering project management is a type of project management that focuses solely on engineering projects. It uses all of the same standard methodologies and processes as any other type of project management. This specialization is likely to appeal to anyone with an engineering background who wants to get into the field of project management.
Engineering management is centered on managing engineers and engineering tasks that have the following characteristics:
Tasks are routine
Processes are repeatable
Work is ongoing, with no defined end
Tasks are part of regular business operations
Engineering project management is focused on managing engineering projects. An example may be a project to design a new office building. One key difference is that engineering project management requires the management of all aspects of the project. Not just management of the engineers or the engineering work.
Some non-engineering tasks that an engineering project manager still has to manage are:
-Scheduling
-Purchasing of materials
-Approval of plan documentation
-Budget and cost managemen
Looking forward to working with you !
