Project Manager Career Profiles

Project managers oversee all aspects of a project. They work directly with upper management, contracting parties, employees, and clients. Their job is to know the project plan, make sure all steps and parties are on track, and to ensure the project steps stay within the budget.

There are many complex tasks involved with each of these duties. Ideal candidates for this type of job are people who are highly organized, effective communicators, good listeners, and efficient workers. It is important to have problem-solving skills and to be able to work well under pressure.

To become a project manager, a person must complete at least a certification program. A certificate involves less training and will limit job opportunities. People who have a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree in business or a related field are prime candidates for most jobs. As a rule, pay is commensurate with education and experience. Project managers may work as independent consultants or as employees of large companies or firms. They may work in construction, IT, manufacturing, and several other types of companies.

Learn what everyday life is for project managers from professionals already working in the field. Read our real-life career profiles below for more information on educational backgrounds, career paths, salaries, advice, and more.
