Having strong project managers is one of the most critical aspects of running an engineering firm. The project managers are responsible for managing budgets and schedules, distributing workload fairly and efficiently and developing junior staff and helping them mature into more valuable members of the team. A good project manager needs to be organized, have strong attention to detail, communicate effectively and have confidence in their engineering judgement. Stress to the interviewer that you possess these traits and give concrete examples where possible.
"First and foremost, a good project manager must be organized and extremely focused on details. This helps keep projects on track. I have experience developing budgeting and tracking tools that contributed significantly to my prior firm setting new records for profitability in the last quarter."
