Process Engineer: Design eng vs System eng.
Process Engineer: Design eng vs System eng.
(OP)
First off, I am not sure if here is right location for my question, please correct me if I am wrong. The question is:
In some companies the duty of process engineer is splitted to two areas: process engineer that does design and sizing and process engineer who is expert in developing P&ID (they name them system engineer).
Some other companies disagree with that and expect a process engineer does both duties.
What do you think? How popular are these two options? Which one is better from your point of view?
Thanks for all replies

RE: Process Engineer: Design eng vs System eng.
I do know that some larger companies have a separate "systems" group that develop P&ID.
Most process engineers though, with some experience, I would expect to be able to do both. On large jobs, of course, there would be more segregation. On most medium and smaller jobs, I would expect it to fall to the same person/group.
