May I ask: In petrochemical engineering companies, what exactly does a package engineer do? What is their role and status within an entire chemical project? Thank you!

A thorough understanding of the moving and stationary equipment as well as the process requirements within the process package is required. Of course, there are also process packages that mainly consist of electrical and instrumentation equipment or piping assemblies, in which case experienced engineers from the relevant specialties will be responsible for them.
