Project Engineer Postgraduate Diploma
Under Accreditation by APMG International
"The global economy needs 25 million new project professionals by 2030 to close the talent gap."
Worldwide, there are many programs for Project Managers,
but none for
Project Engineers.

The Paradox
For every
Project Manager,
we practically need
TENS
of Project and Operations Engineers
Employability is hard, but
Project Engineers
are in demand!
Transportation Projects
Power and Utilities Projects
Environmental and Water Treatment Projects
Agro-business Projects
Rehabilitation and Development Projects
Capital Infrastructure Projects
Why Project Engineer?
- National Oil and Gas companies, EPC Contractors and Consultants employ thousands of local engineering graduates every year who do not possess project management competencies.
These technical engineers are assigned to various capital infrastructure projects, transportation, utilities and mega PPP ventures. - There are few or no existing programs that address the knowledge and competency gap for upskilling from technical engineers to project engineers.
The project engineer requires technical competencies such as estimating, budgeting, scheduling, planning, controlling, procurement, risk, contract management, site-management, communication, stakeholder engagement, and some agility (without exaggeration!) to function properly when assigned to one of the various PMC tasks.- ADVISORS partnered with UK's APMG International to accredit the region's first Project Engineer Postgraduate Diploma, a practical hands-on program that is built by the industry for the industry, not by theoreticians.
