May I ask if your company is running on project base with your client? It would be an advantage to do so. In that sense, there would be project manager roles and you can pick up the experience from there. Saving Changes...

A project manager position in the type of industry you are in - is not given easily and would require years of gradual growth. A typical path is to work on projects in a technical role --> lead role --> technical manager or assistant PM --> PM
An alternate route is for you to step out of engineering and seek roles as estimator, scheduler, planer, cost / schedule control engineer, contract admin, quality manager then move up the ladder. Saving Changes...
