About Dave Andrews McCreight

Mechanical engineering is a broad and diverse discipline and job opportunities are available across many different sectors. Depending on their field of expertise, mechanical engineers can analyze, improve, and create industrial equipment, transport systems, medical devices, industrial plants and machinery, heating or cooling systems, and a number of other products and tools. They are also often involved in prototype testing, the production process, and implementation. They sometimes lead and coordinate teams and are in charge of managing resources on a project.

   Project engineers must have a strong mechanical aptitude and good knowledge of materials, economics, science, mathematics, engineering, and relevant laws and legal regulations. Excellent communication skills are essential, as project engineers are responsible not only for interpreting the client\'s needs, but also for training junior engineers and other team members, and coordinating several groups of people with different sets of skills.Project management skills, decision-making ability, leadership and organizational skills are just as important because project engineers manage both the teams working in the field and third party contractors. It is important that they are able to explain project plans clearly.A high level of mobility and a driver\'s license are usually required because project engineers typically split their time between the site and the office.
