Most architectural and engineering managers work in offices, although some may also work in research laboratories and industrial production plants or at construction sites. Most architectural and engineering managers work full time and some work more than 40 hours a week. These managers are often under considerable pressure to meet deadlines and budgets.
Engineering managers typically work on a project basis and are responsible for successful implementation. They create project budgets and make sure the work flows smoothly by delegating tasks, hiring, and training employees for their team, if they see fit. They create progress reports on the work as well.
