Project Engineer Jobs in Illinois

A Project Engineer plays a crucial role in the engineering industry by managing all engineering and technical aspects of a project to ensure that all goals are met within the specified parameters. They are responsible for planning and designing project stages, coordinating with various teams, evaluating all project deliverables and ensuring safety protocols are maintained. They facilitate communication between different teams, provide technical guidance, and oversee any issues or changes in the project. Project Engineers also ensure that all projects are completed on time, within budget and meet quality standards.

Before becoming a Project Engineer, individuals may have roles such as Junior Engineer, Design Engineer, or Assistant Project Manager.

Certifications such as the Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Construction Manager (CCM) can be advantageous. A Bachelor's degree in Engineering is generally required, though a Master's degree or an MBA could be beneficial for advancement in this field.
