HR first called me and asked some typical questions about why I applied and why I'm the best fit. Then she scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager. The phone interview was about 45 minutes, he asked about my background and if I'm okay with 25% travel, then he brought me in for another interview. In the face-to-face, he asked more standard questions and went into more detail about the project. Finally, I asked some work-related questions and if he had any doubts about my qualifications. Then I tried to reinforce my strong interest in the position before we finished.

the interview questions really depend on the hiring manager and aren't usually preset, so the best way to get ready is to really understand what the role does. for instance, if it's transmission-related, know how the whole system functions. expect questions about the structure, permitting, contract strategy, design, and so on. also, do your homework on project portfolios the company has put out.
