The role of a project manager can be higher in a company than the role of a software engineer, but it really depends on the level of experience and responsibility that the software engineer has.
In general, project managers are senior members of staff with responsibility over an entire project, which may involve multiple departments, but will usually report to a director or senior decision maker. However, some software engineers may be heads of their departments, consultants or manage projects themselves, which would make them either equal to or higher up than a project manager in a company’s hierarchy.
Embedded software project managers need a good knowledge of embedded software design and the different stages involved in embedded software development, but will also benefit from having a basic grasp of the kinds of issues that may halt a project and how to overcome this. As well as this engineering background, they also require project management skills like leadership, communication, organisation, responsibility and accountability in order to successfully take charge of a project and see it through to completion.
According to a recent CompTIA study, the UK’s five most popular cities for tech roles like software project manager are Bristol, Manchester, Cambridge, Birmingham and Nottingham. These cities have the highest number of tech companies that offer the most competitive salaries, so they will be the best places to look for a software project manager position.
