Nowadays, most chemical companies assign chemical industry professionals to serve as project leaders or project managers; therefore, I would like to ask everyone what necessary knowledge in engineering management needs to be added
Of course, you need to acquire knowledge in project management; read books on construction engineering – the textbooks are relatively easy to understand.
Knowledge of project cost estimation as well as some financial knowledge is also required
Is there any inherent connection between working in project management and studying chemical engineering processes?

Nowadays, many chemical companies (owners) assign chemical production managers to oversee construction projects and act as project managers, in order to save labor costs and facilitate smooth commissioning in the future. I wonder if this arrangement will enable the project to be completed well? Those who have had such an experience, what are your thoughts?
There is a book that deals with project management; you might want to take a look at it, things like manuals and such
Look at books on project management, as well as those on construction engineers; they provide clear explanations on quality, safety, schedule, and cost.
It seems that many project managers come from the piping field. There are also many that have not been designed at all.
The project managers of our projects are all senior engineers with a background in design, and they have a thorough understanding of the entire manufacturing process. But regarding project management, I think it should be company-related training. Still, I think project managers these days should possess knowledge related to engineering management in order to ensure the smooth progress of projects.
