Project Engineer Reviews
What is it like working as a Project Engineer?
February 2016
Engineering? Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Project Engineer:
Go back to school for finance while you still have time.
February 2016
Work is not like school.
Project Engineer:
Do not expect work to be based on merit. It is often more based on people's perception of you. Manage your reputation from day one. Don't expect people to be kind or understanding. Be on alert for bias, especially if you're from an under-represented group.
ABOVE ALL, NEGOTIATE YOUR STARTING SALARY. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU THINK. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
February 2016
Corporate culture.

January 2016
Its Fun being a Project Engineer.
Project Engineer:
Pros: You get to work both in the office and on the field. Both with designers and construction contractors to deliver physical infrastructure.
Cons: Not given enough resources to complete the job.
January 2016
Career Path.
Project Engineer:
You need to know that there are two types of Project Engineer, one is focus totally in project management in the engineering industry. The other one is an engineer for a mega project who only looks after his packages both technically and financially. You need to ask during the interview.

GCC Work.
Project Engineer:
Pros: Building new transportation avenues every day. Seeing a constant change and challenge while being rewarded with continious progress.
Cons: My Current boss.
January 2016
Unconventional Project Engineer.
Project Engineer:
Pros: Being an active Army officer while working in the Army Corps of Engineers is a pretty awesome gig for me. I get to take a step away from the tactical life and experience civilian contract management, negotiation, and enforcement.
I like almost all of my co-workers. The ones that I'm not actively in favor of are, at worst, average. The interpersonal environment here is great. I didn't get that in the active military. There were just too many "Type As" over there for everyone to get along well.
Work is manageable, but developmental. I learn useful skills almost daily in this job.
My supervisor is a great manager. He gives me a lot of flexibility and freedom, but he's always available to help me when I don't know where to turn and my co-workers are also at a loss.
Cons: I think that my transition into this job could use some work. I was clueless when I got here and there really wasn't a training program, but that wasn't much of an issue. I just took some time on my own to review and plan how I was going to make sure my contracts and contractors were operating smoothly.
Not many complains at all in this job. I guess the government spends way too much money on a lot of contracts, but that doesn't really reflect poorly on anything in this office.
