The most enjoyable part of the job is the opportunity to be on the beach/ocean. It is often that a manager will ask for a drawing or calculation that involves multiple hours of work and they always want it yesterday. When we are up and running every wasted minute is a loss in revenue that is unacceptable. The hardest part about this job is the ability to deal with the stress that comes along with a production driven industry. As a project engineer I feel 60% of my day is working on computer related material where the other 40% in the field, interacting with field engineers along with the crew. One of the many skill sets I have acquired along the way is the ability to lead and motivate a team of engineers.Ī typical work day is all dependent on the stage of the project during days of mobilization and demobilization it is typical to work 9 hour a days, when the dredge is digging it is typical to work 12 hour days. Through my 3.5 years of experience I have been promoted to the Acting Project Engineer of the job site and feel very comfortable in my role. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock is a great company that provides skill sets along the way to mold a Field Engineer into a well rounded Senior Manager.
