MECHANICAL ENGINEER
PROJECT MANAGER AEROSPACE ENGINEER
As Principal Mechanical Engineer I am a liaison between the project manager and the technical personnel involved in a project. The project engineer is also often the primary technical point of contact for the consumer. Responsibilities include schedule preparation, pre-planning and resource forecasting for engineering and other technical activities relating to the project. I am also in charge of performance management of vendors. They assure the accuracy of financial forecasts, which tie-in to project schedules. They ensure projects are completed according to project plans. Project engineers manage project team resources and training and develop extensive project management experience and expertise. The project teams are structured so that multiple specialty disciplines report to the project engineer, then two important responsibilities of the project engineer are inter-discipline coordination and overall quality control of the work. I have been Project Engineer with different companies, of different sizes. KEY SKILLS
