Construction Project Engineer


A Project Engineer is, in some cases, the same as a project manager. Project Engineers are considered to be Project Managers but with engineering qualifications. Government organizations might have a Senior Project Engineer at the top of the ladder followed by Project Engineer followed by Project Manager.
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.
Responsibilities:
1. Schedule preparation and resource forecasting for specific engineering activities relating to the project.
2. Performance management of the architectural and engineering vendor.
3. Assuring accuracy of financial forecasts with tie-in to project schedules.
4. Ensuring projects are completed according to project plans.
5. Managing project team resources and training.
6. They have extensive project management experience & expertise.
7. It is not permissible to call a project engineer a P.E., as this refers to a Professional Engineer.
An 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 the commissioning company.
