Job description
Location: Houston
At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.
The opportunity
#O&G
At EY Consulting, we are building a better working world by transforming businesses through the power of people, technology, and innovation. Our clients are at the heart of what we do. We’re focused on solving the key issues of our client buyers, building deeper relationships, and generating lasting value with significant impact.
Our firm sets the standard for consulting services, fostering an environment that encourages career ownership at every stage. As a part of our team, you'll be at the forefront of this dynamic service line, driving change and delivering solutions that revolutionize business operations. You’ll help our clients in transformation and innovation efforts: driving growth, reducing costs, and building future-ready organizations.
Your key responsibilities
EY’s Transformation Architecture and Delivery (TAD) practice offers a dynamic career path for professionals passionate about solving complex business, technology, and engineering challenges. As a Senior, you’ll help Oil & Gas and energy clients deliver transformation initiatives and capital project programs across the full asset lifecycle, contributing to architecture frameworks, program management, project controls, and value realization. You'll have the opportunity to build your career across TAD Business and TAD Technology Strategy teams based on your strengths and interests.
TAD Business: Partner with Oil & Gas and energy clients to plan and deliver capital programs and transformation initiatives through TMO/PMO frameworks, including stage-gate (FEL/FEED) governance, EPC and contractor oversight, and project controls (cost, schedule, risk, earned value). You’ll apply Agile and Waterfall methods, shape CAPEX governance and business cases, and drive value realization from project sanction through commissioning and handover.
TAD Technology Strategy: Help Oil & Gas and energy clients align technology investments with business and capital project priorities. You’ll design technology operating models, optimize cost and sourcing, support M&A integration, and enable engineering data, asset information management, digital twins, and integrated project controls platforms to improve capital efficiency and asset performance.
Industry sectors
Our practice serves clients across industries, with a focus on Oil & Gas (upstream, midstream, and downstream), Power & Utilities, Chemicals, and other capital-intensive sectors.
Skills and attributes for success
To qualify for the role, you must have
- Bachelor’s degree (engineering or related field preferred) and 2–4+ years of experience in capital projects, engineering, technology strategy, transformation, or program management, ideally in Oil & Gas or energy
- Consulting or industry experience supporting client-facing transformation programs or capital projects
- Experience using AI-enabled tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to enhance productivity and analysis
- Strong leadership, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, actionable insights
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and commercial skills with an agile, execution-oriented mindset
- Willingness to travel and work flexible hours based on client needs (65 – 80%)
- Access to reliable transportation to/from EY offices and client sites, as required
Ideally, you will have:
- Experience with PMO/EPMO set-up, capital project governance, and end-to-end program or portfolio delivery
- Experience across the Oil & Gas capital project lifecycle, including FEL/stage-gate, FEED, EPC management, project controls, turnarounds, and commissioning
- Experience with technology operating models, roadmaps, enterprise architecture, and engineering and asset information management
- Familiarity with project controls and delivery tools (e.g., Primavera P6, EcoSys, MS Project, Jira) and methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall)
- Business development experience, including RFP responses, proposals, and client presentations
- Advanced Excel, PowerPoint, and Word skills to develop executive-ready deliverables

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in engineering senior manager jobs.
- Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or a closely related technical field
- Seven or more years of engineering experience with at least three in people management
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and align engineering with business goals
- Proficiency with Agile or similar project management methodologies
- Experience owning engineering budgets, headcount planning, and resource allocation
- Strong communication skills for presenting technical decisions to executive stakeholders
Tips for Your Engineering Senior Manager Job Search
Quantify scope on your resume
Engineering senior manager roles demand evidence of scale. List the headcount you managed, the budget you owned, and the number of concurrent projects you oversaw. Hiring teams compare candidates on those numbers, not on general leadership language.
Tailor your resume to each discipline
A resume optimized for a hardware-focused role will read differently from one targeting software or systems engineering. Align your featured projects, tools, and terminology to the specific engineering discipline named in each job description before you apply.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists engineering senior manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that list your tech stack
Many engineering senior manager postings name specific tools or platforms, such as JIRA, Agile frameworks, or CAD environments. Filtering for openings that match the tools you already use increases your odds of clearing the initial screen quickly.
Prepare a cross-functional influence story
Interviewers at this level probe how you align engineering teams with product, operations, and finance. Prepare two or three concrete examples where you drove decisions across departments, including how you resolved conflicting priorities without direct authority over all stakeholders.
Negotiate beyond base salary from the start
At senior manager level, total compensation often includes equity, performance bonuses, and professional development budgets. Before your first offer conversation, identify which non-cash elements matter most to you so you can negotiate the full package, not just the base number.
Engineering Senior Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most engineering senior managers?
The companies hiring the most engineering senior managers right now include Lockheed Martin, CVS Health, and L3Harris, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to concentrate in companies scaling hardware or software teams through a growth phase.
How many engineering senior manager jobs are remote?
About 73% of engineering senior manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully on-site roles remain common in hardware, semiconductor, and manufacturing disciplines. Software and platform engineering management roles tend to carry the highest share of remote and hybrid flexibility compared to other specializations.
How do you become an engineering senior manager?
You typically start as an individual contributor engineer, then move into a team lead or staff engineer role where you take on informal mentorship and project coordination. From there, a transition to engineering manager gives you direct reports and formal people management experience. Building a record of cross-functional delivery, headcount growth, and technical strategy positions you for the senior manager step.
Can you get hired as an engineering senior manager without prior management experience?
It's difficult but not impossible if you've led large projects with significant scope and influence over other engineers. Employers sometimes promote strong staff or principal engineers into senior manager roles when those candidates have demonstrated ownership of roadmaps, mentored junior engineers, and coordinated across teams, even without a formal management title. Framing that experience clearly in your application matters.
What does the engineering senior manager interview process look like?
Most processes open with a recruiter screen focused on your management background and team size, followed by a technical and behavioral interview with a director or VP. A hiring loop typically includes a leadership panel where you walk through past projects, a cross-functional stakeholder interview, and sometimes a written or verbal case study on org design or engineering prioritization. Final rounds often involve a conversation with senior leadership.
Where can I find and apply to engineering senior manager jobs?
You can find and apply to engineering senior manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your background and apply directly to each one that fits.
