He should have a significant level of expertise in Microsoft office applications like Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Project. An experience of 5-10 years in his relevant industry is also considered as an additional advantage. An experience in international projects is always considered or given preference in the Engineering Project Management Jobs.



Knowledge and skills of the project engineering management team: A project engineer should be able to understand and analyze engineering materials and technical procedures.
