What is a traveling engineer?
What does a traveling engineer do?
As a traveling engineer, you provide on-site support for a system. The form of the system can take a variety of shapes and engineers are needed for environmental, civil, mechanical, chemical, electrical, and electronic systems. Depending on the size and focus of your organization, you may be asked to oversee multiple projects, manage regional development, coordinate with engineers abroad, provide input on new construction, and lead workshops to educate other employees. The amount of travel varies by company, but you may be asked to spend more than 50% of your time away from home. If your company frequently sends you overseas, speaking the corresponding local language can help you stand out from other applicants.
