Stuck in a rut? How to get into project managment
Discussion
My current background is since i was 18, completed a apprenticeship and have progressed up to commissioning engineer in fire and life safety systems. It has come to the point where i feel stuck in a rut, not going anywhere, not knowing what i want to do next.
I have always had a interest in project management, or as i have always liked cars and logistics and fancy fleet management.
my question is how, how do i go about getting into project management? I currently work for a large company where the only natural progression seems to be engineer to salesman and that is not what i want to do.
Although i dont have direct project management skills, i do have plenty of experience in running my own jobs, meeting customers and sorting problems etc, so i assume these could be transferable.
Im happy to change fields, but do enjoy the electronic side of things. My dream job would be LED lighting design and installation but again this seems to be very few and far between.
