How To Navigate Your Engineering Career Path

Whether you’re just beginning your engineering career or are established in your field, it’s essential to take control of your future. It’s easy to take what seems like a great job early on and move forward with promotions or new projects as they arise. But consider if your career trajectory is progressing as you would like or if you need to make changes to get you on your preferred track

Create Actionable Goals

How do you want your career to unfold? If you wish to do your work as an individual contributor or as part of a team, there are plenty of options. You can establish yourself with one company and stay for the long term or keep an eye out for better opportunities. If you’re interested in becoming a manager, you may need to take a more strategic approach. When you’re conducting research on a company or during the interview, find out if they have a management training program or a commitment to promoting from within. This information can help you make smarter decisions about which job offer to accept. Project or contract work is an excellent option for people who enjoy flexibility, variety or wish to explore a few options before settling into a long-term opportunity.

Know How to Level Up

Some companies have a rigid structure they follow that includes job titles such As Junior Engineer, Engineer 1, Engineer 2, Senior Engineer, Team Lead, or similar terms. Other companies may formalize their career path and you may have to build a pathway to your goals. Either way, there will be metrics and parameters you will be expected to meet before being considered for the next step. Find out how you can become eligible by examining job descriptions or speaking to your manager to see what experience or training you need to add to your resume.

Find a Mentor

A trusted advocate who can offer advice and guidance can be an essential part of your career path. Reach out to someone within your company or in your network who has walked the path you hope to tread. They can provide tips to help you progress along your chosen course or even offer alternatives you may not have considered. They may even be able to share their network with you and put you directly in touch with decision-makers in the field.
