The IT engineer: specialist and versatile

The job of computer engineer covers various realities, linked to new information and communication technologies (NICT).

The functions and responsibilities of the IT engineer vary according to the size of the company which employs him, according to the field of activity of the company, according to his own professional experience.

Large or medium-sized companies hire computer experts, particularly in management and management, in the design and development of information systems or software, in the management and security of computer, electronic, industrial or telecom components.

The “classic” fields of activity (financial, industrial, medical, commercial, mass distribution, etc.) employ many computer engineers. But companies active in the digital, internet, e-marketing or IT consultancy also offer many jobs in this field. For the particular field of IT consultancy, we speak of SSII - computer engineering services companies -, SSCI - IT services and consulting companies -, or even ESN - digital service company computer engineers.

The evolution of functions: professional opportunities

Located at the heart of the digital revolution, the computer engineer must continually adapt his profile. The challenges it encounters change rapidly: technologies are evolving, communication channels are multiplying, business processes are adapting ... New professions are appearing in this very dynamic world, which creates new functions and therefore new professional opportunities for IT engineers.

To meet these challenges, a computer engineer must have the following skills:

Technical expertise in IT, telecom or electronics

A methodical, rigorous and analytical approach to problems

A sense of relationships and communication

Openness to change and continuing professional training

In addition, when the IT specialist gains professional experience, he becomes more involved in IT management, as a project manager or IT manager.

To acquire these skills and become a computer engineer, it is of course necessary to follow courses given by universities or specialized schools ( schools and training courses for computer engineers ). The IT engineer is also continuously trained through professional training.

The salary of computer engineers

The remuneration of IT engineers depends, of course, on the professional experience to which they are entitled.

The salary of a junior computer engineer is around 38,000 eur gross per year. A senior engineer can reach 76,000 eur gross per year. The telecommunications sector is known to pay higher wages than other sectors.

These figures should be viewed with caution, taking into account the role of the IT engineer: an IT manager has a higher salary than that of a project manager himself. higher than that of a systems engineer or an electronics engineer. As for the salary of an independent IT consultant (freelance), it is directly linked to his skills and business opportunities.
