However, it’s essential to note that salaries can vary greatly depending on factors such as experience, company size, and industry sector. For instance, engineers working in the technology industry may receive higher salaries than those in manufacturing or infrastructure development.

Common skills for engineering roles include proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software, programming languages like Python or C++, and strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Engineers must also be able to communicate effectively with colleagues from other disciplines and manage projects from conception to completion.
