They are the link between the senior management and the engineering team, ensuring that all projects align with the company's strategic goals. The Director of Engineering implements policies that promote efficiency and quality, manages resources, reduces costs, and ensures safety. They also play a key role in recruiting and training engineering staff, developing budgets, and establishing project timelines.

Important skills for a Director of Engineering include strong leadership, analytical thinking, problem-solving, project management, and excellent communication.
