ENGINEERING MANAGER INTERVIEW TIPS – HOW TO PASS YOUR ENGINEER MANAGEMENT JOB INTERVIEW!
The following tips will help you prepare fully for any Engineering Manager interview. The tips are suitable for all engineering management positions across all industries and sectors. Read them carefully and implement the advice given during your pre-interview preparation time increase your chances of success.
ENGINEERING MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #1
The best way to prepare for your engineering management job interview is to research their company, prepare answers to all questions listed on this page, and have some questions of your own lined up, ready to ask, at the end of the interview (see tip 4 below).
ENGINEERING MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #2
Be prepared for both motivational, behavioral, and engineering technical interview questions. Motivational questions include, why should we hire you, tell me about yourself and where do you see yourself in five years. Behavioral interview questions focus on how you have performed in previous management or engineering situations, and technical questions will relate to your area of engineering specialism or industry.
ENGINEERING MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #3
A great way to stand out from the competition during your Engineering Manager interview is to have a plan in place of what you will do in the role within the first 90 days of starting work. This shows dedication, organization, and the ability to plan and organize in advance. During the first 90 days of commencing work as an Engineering Manager, you might obtain a brief from the company directors, monitor the performance of your team of engineers, make any necessary changes to meet the commercial objectives of the organization, and then set to work on important engineering projects that showcase your skills and management capabilities.
ENGINEERING MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #4
At the end of your Engineer Manager interview, you will have the chance to ask some questions of your own. Here are four great questions to ask the interviewer/hiring manager at the end of your Engineering Manager job interview:
- What’s the most important aspect of the engineering project delivery process to you? Is it timescales or budget?
- If I am successful, what would be the first thing you would want me to focus on as your Engineering Manager?
- What are the plans for your organization over the next 5 to 10 years?
- What challenges is your organization facing right now and how could I help you to overcome them as the Engineering Manager?
