Hard Skills

Most would think that an engineer only needs up-to-date technical knowledge in their area.

While technical knowledge is the first of the top 6 things to look for when hiring an engineer, it’s not the only expertise. Soft skills are vital for any team or multi-person project. Engineers don’t get to work alone all the time and therefore need to be able to function in a group.

Soft Skills

Soft skills include the ability to collaborate with others in areas within or beyond engineering and is quite important in a project with many moving parts.

Problem-solving and the ability to adapt are essential for a workplace to thrive, and these skills are ingrained into nearly every job an engineer can expect to do.

Taking ownership of their work and staying curious are excellent traits for an engineer to have as well. This is the difference between being good enough and being the best that they can be.

There you have it!
