[ Project Engineering ]

It’s baffled me for a while, trying to differentiate between project engineering and project management. Because in my experience, when you’re doing project engineering, it sure feels like you’re managing.

The competency description for Pipeline Project Engineering has helped me figure it out (and this is for any type of project):  the “project engineering” is the expertise around managing the project documentation. 

This could be the contractual, regulatory, or technical documents.  It could be any of many documents such as the design basis, approvals documents, execution plans, QA plans, variations, or the all-important closeout/handover documents.

Project engineering is: the documentation.
