What is an engineering manager?
The job of an engineering manager is to oversee a team or department of other engineers. They usually help manage projects and will be responsible for scheduling tasks, directing staff and sharing technical knowledge.
While contract work is available, the majority of advertised engineering manager vacancies are on a permanent basis - with salaries starting at around £40,000.
The role of a recruitment agency
If you need to make a senior engineering appointment, or you’re a candidate on the lookout for work, then there are a range of UK agencies who might be able to help.
The job of a recruiter is to source and screen suitable candidates, before placing them with an employer. In this case, they will likely search for personnel with a degree in mechanical or electrical engineering, as well as previous management experience. Candidates may also require an NEBOSH or IOSH qualification.
Construction and engineering specialists may be the best equipped to do this, however, there are a number of multi-sector consultancies that will also recruit for the role.
