Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine which engineering and managerial competences are of high importance in enterprises operating in accordance with the assumptions of Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach: The MAXQDA tool was used to analyze the acquired information, generating structured data clouds. Findings: As a result, soft skills turned out to be the most important competences, mainly related to effective interpersonal communication, systematic learning and adaptation to change, also in the technological area. Research limitations/implications: Quantitative research on a larger sample would be needed to examine the links between specific factors on a set of competences and adaptability to changes in workers. If respondents were to be informed about the areas most affected by the impact of Industry 4.0, more extensive and detailed qualitative research would have to be carried out focusing on this issue. Practical implications: The information obtained in the results of the research allows to emphasize the importance of soft skills in the catalog of those that are significant in Industry 4.0 enterprises. Thanks to this, the selection of training for employees can be more adapted to the actual needs of the company. Originality/value: The analysis of literature sources allowed to see that the previous research focused on presenting the competences of engineers and managers in relation to individual areas of industry. The research results included in the publication are a list of the most important competences of these in enterprises 4.0. This allows you to understand the key elements influencing the development of the professional path of engineers and managers during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Keywords:
