Project Engineering bridges the boundaries between engineering
and project management, leading the technical
workers who contribute to the building of structures or products. In some
cases, the project engineer is the same as a project
manager but in most cases these two professionals have joint responsibility
for leading a project. It is generally not acceptable to use P.E. as an
abbreviation for project engineer, as P.E. refers to a licensed professional
engineer.
Responsibilities
The role of the project engineer can often be described as
that of a liaison between the project manager and the technical disciplines
involved in a project. The project engineer is also often the primary technical
point of contact for the consumer.
A project engineer's responsibilities include schedule
preparation, pre-planning and resource forecasting for engineering and other
technical activities relating to the project. They may also be in charge of
performance management of vendors. They assure the accuracy of financial forecasts,
which tie-in to project schedules. They ensure projects are completed according
to project plans. Project engineers manage project team resources and training
and develop extensive project management experience and expertise. When project
teams are structured so that multiple specialty disciplines report to the
project engineer, then two important responsibilities of the project engineer
are inter-discipline coordination and overall quality control of the work.
Construction industry
In the construction industry, the title project
engineer is given to new project managers or job site assistants who manage
field operations. Project engineers are project
managers with qualifications in engineering or construction management. Other titles
include field engineer, construction engineer, or construction
project engineer. In smaller projects, this person may also be responsible for
contracts and will be called an assistant project manager. A similar role is
undertaken by a client's engineer or owner's
engineer, but by inference, these often act more in the interests of the
commissioning company.
Project engineers do not do design
work, but instead represent the contractor out in the field, help tradespeople
interpret the job's designs, ensure the job is constructed according to the
project plans, and assist project
controls, including budgeting, scheduling, and planning. In some cases a
project engineer is responsible for assisting the assigned project manager with
regard to design and a project and with the execution of one or more
simultaneous projects in accordance with a valid, executed contract, per
company policies and procedures and work instructions for customized and
standardized plants.
Typical responsibilities may include: daily operations of
field work activities and organization of subcontractors;
coordination of the implementation of a project, ensuring it is being built
correctly; project schedules and forecasts; interpretation of drawings for tradesmen;
review of engineering deliverables; redlining drawings; regular project status
reports; budget monitoring and trend tracking; bill of materials creation and
maintenance; effective communications between engineering, technical,
construction, and project controls groups; and assistance to the project
manager.
