To become an architectural engineer, one must complete a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering or Civil Engineering.
Having a master's degree is a plus to become a manager quicker or start the job with better salary and responsivities.
Usually, one has to have 5-8 yrs. of proven experience working as an engineer, good communication skills, time management and people management skills to become eligible to apply for manager roles. Having master's degree, MBA is a plus.
As part of career progression within the company, one can become a senior engineer, lead engineer, principal engineer or Manager based on no of years' experience, opportunities in the company and one's performance in his current role etc.
