Dear sea friends: In the engineering field, these three terms are often heard: project manager, project leader, and chief engineer. What are the differences between them? Feel free to discuss! There are rewards too!
As I understand it, the project manager is the person in charge of a project; the project manager oversees the entire project (including the chief engineer), who is sometimes also referred to as the person responsible for the technical quality of the project. The project manager is accountable to the company, while the chief engineer is accountable to the project manager.
In a certain construction project, all the parties involved have a position referred to as ‘project manager’ for that project; the developer and the contractor both use this term, the supervision team uses the title of chief supervisor, while the surveying and design firms refer to their leaders as project managers. In large projects, too, the title of project manager is used. This position is the top leader in charge of production, technology, safety, and other aspects of the project; back in the company itself, it isn’t considered a high-ranking position. ‘The project manager should be someone whose word carries weight during the construction of the project, but when it comes to matters involving money, their word is practically worthless! The project manager said it applies only to the construction party; there are separate persons in charge for the client, the supervisor, and the designer.
The person in charge of a project is usually the project manager, who is responsible for the entire project. The project chief engineer is a term inherited from the Soviet Union; in reality, it refers to the person who is in charge of the technical aspects of the project
My understanding is: 1. The project manager refers to the overall person in charge of a project, including the client’s project manager, the construction project manager, and the supervisor. 2. The rights holder should be the highest commander of the project. 3. The project leader and the chief engineer are both personnel assigned to work on this project and report to the project manager.

My understanding is that the project leader and the project manager are the same person – they are the top supervisor of the project team. The chief engineer works under the project manager and is responsible for technical quality matters
Dear sea friends, I work in engineering. A construction project has five main responsible parties, namely the project owner (Party A), the supervision unit, the construction unit, the survey unit, and the design unit. The corresponding top leaders are the project owner or person in charge on the client side, the supervisor is the chief supervisor, the project manager of the construction unit, and the person in charge of survey and design. At the start of the project, all parties must submit a five-party responsibility statement to the construction authorities.
The chief engineer of the project is the technical leader of the project management team
The project leader is the actual person in charge of project control, with decision-making power at least in financial matters. Depending on the size of the project, the project manager can also serve as the project leader. The chief engineer, on the other hand, focuses on technical aspects, while the project manager and project leader focus on management aspects.
The project manager, also known as the project leader, is responsible for all aspects of the project. The project chief engineer is the technical leader of the project
The project manager is the leader of the project and the main person responsible for it; they report directly to the project management committee. The chief engineer can be considered as the technical support for the project, but strictly speaking, they are not part of the project team. In fact, they should serve as the technical support for all projects within the company.
