Engineering Manager Jobs in Illinois

An Engineering Manager is an essential part of the engineering industry. They oversee and lead the engineering team, ensuring projects are completed successfully and on time. They are responsible for formulating strategies, ensuring quality control, managing budgets, and supervising staff. This individual must have strong technical knowledge along with excellent management and leadership skills. A bachelor's degree in engineering is usually required for this position, but a master's degree or a Professional Engineer (PE) certification can enhance job prospects.

Such roles could include a Project Engineer, where they would gain practical experience in managing engineering projects; a Senior Engineer, where they would have increased responsibility in design and development projects; or a Lead Engineer, where they would oversee a team of engineers. These roles provide the necessary experience and skill set for managing multiple projects and teams, setting the foundation for a successful career as an Engineering Manager.
