Three tips for your project engineer job ad
Give the type and size of your projects. An engineer from an engineering firm wants to know whether it means revamps on one site or new installations.
Write what mandate the project engineer gets over budget and suppliers. Someone who may only follow up without deciding soon looks elsewhere.
Show the path to a next step, such as project manager or engineering lead. Firms win candidates with variety; you can win them with prospects.
Is it a bottleneck profession?
Yes. VDAB lists "Projectmanager engineering" on the 2026 list of bottleneck professions. Cause according to VDAB: too few job seekers available on the labour market; candidates lack the right experience or training
