The Paradox

For every
Project Manager,
we practically need
TENS
of Project and Operations Engineers

Employability is hard, but
Project Engineers
are in demand!

Why Project Engineer?

  • National Oil and Gas companies, EPC Contractors and Consultants employ thousands of local engineering graduates every year who do not possess project management competencies.
    These technical engineers are assigned to various capital infrastructure projects, transportation, utilities and mega PPP ventures.

  • There are few or no existing programs that address the knowledge and competency gap for upskilling from technical engineers to project engineers.

  • The project engineer requires technical competencies such as estimating, budgeting, scheduling, planning, controlling, procurement, risk, contract management, site-management, communication, stakeholder engagement, and some agility (without exaggeration!) to function properly when assigned to one of the various PMC tasks.

  • ADVISORS partnered with UK's APMG International to accredit the region's first Project Engineer Postgraduate Diploma, a practical hands-on program that is built by the industry for the industry, not by theoreticians.
