The design-related positions typically include designers, project managers, proofreaders, reviewers, etc., while the person in charge of final approval is usually an administrative staff member. The main responsibility of the reviewer is to be accountable for the quality of the finished products from the perspective of the administrative leadership of the department or office. The following items should be carefully reviewed: 1. Whether the design documents are complete and comply with **’s policies and regulations. Are the approval documents from the relevant authorities complete? Whether the approval opinions are carefully implemented and documented. 2. Key attention should be paid to the innovative aspects in various fields, such as process plans, as well as major technical issues related to new processes, new technologies, and new materials employed in these fields. 3. Check the quality of the finalized design: Verify whether the project manager, subject matter experts, proofreaders, and reviewers have fulfilled their duties, and whether all review records are complete. Check whether the quality of the calculation sheets and drawings complies with the hospital’s relevant quality management regulations. 4. Check whether the positions listed in the tab bar comply with the relevant regulations for registered chemical engineers as well as the technical positions designated by the institute.

The approvers in the company are usually some executives who have been away from design-related roles for many years; aside from attending meetings, going on business trips, and networking, they are almost entirely disconnected from technical matters. Yet they still have to sign off on process technical plans, feasibility studies, and preliminary designs – which is somewhat like occupying a position that isn’t theirs. Fortunately, such opportunities to sign off are not frequent, so it doesn’t undermine the enthusiasm of the technical staff. Does your institution have such reviewers?
I’m afraid the situations of various engineering companies or design institutes in China vary greatly; it’s not possible to generalize about them all! The leading engineering companies in the petrochemical and chemical industries as far as I know indeed play a crucial role in aspects such as the evaluation of solution options and quality control, the matching of technology and scale for various plant units, the suitability of auxiliary facilities, and a thorough understanding and application of relevant regulations and standards ； The questions, suggestions, and requests put forward by the reviewers are also often profound and of great significance. To the point that some owners of projects costing hundreds of billions invest in negotiating contracts on the condition that a certain person must be appointed as the reviewer within the project team of the construction company; otherwise, they consider hiring another competing construction company to take on the project.
Basically, it was signed with eyes closed; it all relied on the review staff to do more oversight, as there was simply no time or energy to go into the specific details of the review process
The people who do these tasks are basically reviewers, commonly known as \"veteran experts,\" who spend their entire lives working in technical fields.
When negotiating contracts, owners usually do not designate a project reviewer; instead, they decide that a certain person must serve as the PM, with a senior leader from a certain organization taking personal charge of the project.
