The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 14,700 openings for architectural and engineering managers each year, on average, from 2020–30. Most of those openings are expected to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or retire.

Employment growth will largely reflect the growth of the industries in which these managers are employed. Demand for civil engineering services is expected to continue as the nation’s aging infrastructure requires expansion and repair. Mechanical and electrical engineering services should also be needed for projects such as wind turbine farms and other renewable energy construction and design.
