Directors of Engineering typically report to higher-level executive level management, and oversee one or more lower-level Engineering Managers. While Engineering Managers work on a daily basis with engineers and their ongoing projects, Directors of Engineering take a more holistic approach and often rely on big-picture analysis to determine a course of action. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for Architectural and Engineering Managers, which includes Directors of Engineering, is rising by 2 percent. This is expected to result in the opening of 3,700 openings through 2024.
