Ur view is quite narrow, why dun u put ur engineering deg to good use?
Some jobs below which are desk bound, as u work up, more traveling
Procurement
Logistics
Supply chain
Sales (industrial equipment)
These jobs, benefit from engineering background as they require some knowledge/ analytical thinking of the industrial.
I think it's a waste for u to be in an admin post, ESP entry level.
I find admin jobs are generally rather replaceable , dispensable. Once the co is willing to invest in good systems or outsource to India/ china. They won't need too many admin staff
