According to data from Indeed, the average annual salary for an engineering project manager in the UK is £62,901. This role requires a fair amount of experience as well as the necessary skills required to lead others, which is why the average salary is high. It’s not often a role given to graduates or junior engineers, who will likely start out in lower-paying engineering roles before progressing to a manager position.
According to an article by RGPM, the best UK city for project management jobs is London. This is because there is a very high concentration of established companies and start-ups in London which all require technical project managers for their new projects, and it’s also the city in the UK with the highest project manager salaries, on average.
Technical project managers have a wide range of different responsibilities in their role, but four of the most important include planning and allocating tasks, assessing and mitigating risks, defining and monitoring budgets and delivering progress and final reports to relevant stakeholders. These roles define the purpose of a technical project manager, ensuring that projects run smoothly from start to finish and keeping everyone involved working as efficiently as possible.
