Everyone has their own reasons for becoming an engineer, but very rarely do engineers set out early in their careers to become a project manager. In fact, many project managers are born from pure necessity, but that doesn't mean they can't excel in their new role.

• Marketing and continued contact with clients

• Staff planning and assembly of the project team
• Managing all phases of the project
• Quality management
