Remaining visible and relevant can be a challenge for engineers who have been enjoying remote work. As more organizations return to traditional office settings, a new article published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides advice on how these professionals can be more deliberate in building their presence in a remote setting. 

Among the ways to stay involved is establishing clear expectations for forms of communications with teammates, developing systems and processes that keep them efficient and contributing to an organization’s success—and improving those systems over time.

“One of the best ways to stay on the radar is to faithfully record and report your achievements,” Richard Friedman, founder and president of Friedman & Partners, a consulting company focused on the engineering and architecture industries, told ASME. “Don’t wait to be asked. Provide concise, impactful reports that highlight key achievements and project milestones to every person in the organization who would benefit from knowing; it doesn’t just have to be the boss or the board.”
