Advancement Prospects
A skilled and experienced engineer can move up to the position of lead project engineer, who is responsible for the successful completion of a particular project and the management of less-experienced engineers. The next steps would be to department manager, production manager, and company executive. Some engineers start their own consulting firms, while others become college teachers.
