Abstract
The engineering projects sector has presented numerous challenges in achieving success. The need arises to understand the reasons for these challenges and determine the best way to address the issues and achieve success using the best approach. This study aims to gain a good understanding of the factors impacting project success in the engineering sector. The literature review revealed variables that influence project success. These variables are company culture, effective management, employee engagement, and effective planning. The study presents a statistical analysis of the data. This analysis shows that each independent variable studied has a distinct impact on the dependent variable, project success. The South African engineering projects industry has shown a relationship between identified factors and project success. This study recommends laying a solid foundation to apply and improve the identified factors that have an impact on project success in the industry.
