Training is just one component of a Project Engineer, or any engineer for that matter, in my opinion.
As a project engineer for more than 15 years, my view is based on successes as a hands-on, highly motivated, what-ever-it- takes, tinkerer and inventor. But that is just one perspective.
Growing into a roll as a supervisor of other engineers has lead me to the conclusion that there are two types of engineers. Type I has the education and did well in school. Type II is the person who was born to be an engineer. This is a person with a strong mechanical aptitude and natural curiosity.
In my opinion, today's market demands an engineer to be hard working and efficient, more so than ever. Sometimes a solution can come from a book but more often the inspiration comes from experience. I'm not referring to on the job engineering experience but a lifetime of repairing, building, tinkering, hot rodding, or other hands-on activities. That behavior is indicative of a engineer who was born that way, a person who knows how to get things done.
History shows that people like Henry Ford or Steve Jobs are the hands-on, get it done variety and obviously successful. These are examples of type II engineers.
I believe my success as Project Engineer is also the direct result of being a type II, “born that way” engineer, on a smaller scale of course.
My current staff is composed of Type I and Type II engineers but I get more results from the Type II.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that I numbered the types the way I did but it is common knowledge that number two tries harder.
My advice to a new project engineer – get off the computer, your hands dirty and see how things really work. Learn from your mistakes and apply that knowledge.
That may be considered a non-traditional career path for today's engineer but we know that it works.Responsibilities:
1. Schedule preparation and resource forecasting for gasification 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 expertise with extensive Project management experience
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, but by inference, these often act more in the interests of the the commissioning company.
