@Rami
does an EPC PM only work on construction projects? Do they specialise into say domestic / industrial (and then perhaps further specialisation)?

@Michael: My understanding is that EPC is Engineering, Procurement and Construction so PM's involved in this field mainly works on Construction Projects regardless of the project type: It could be industrial, commercial, residential, infrastructure. There are several type of projects in Construction such as:

EPC
EPCM: CM refers to Construction Management
Construction Only
Etc

For personnel with no Engineering background I would recommend to gain practical experience working in EPC projects teams at different levels before taking responsibility of those types of projects as a hands-on training.
Taking courses on engineering standards and specifications as well as the requirements and legislation for the practice of Engineering in the territory where the project takes place are highly recommendable during the hands on training.
In EPC projects, where the load of engineering work requires it, a Project Engineering Manager (PEM) takes responsibility to oversee the technical tasks to be performed by the Project Engineer(s).
The Project Engineering Manager is responsible for the planning, performance, control and direction of the engineering tasks included in the project, in agreement with the PM, Project Controls, QA/QC, HSE and other managers.
Assists the Construction Manager during the project execution.
Manages the engineering, design and drafting personnel assigned to the project which includes Project Engineers, Discipline Engineers, Engineering Designers and Drafters.
Regarding the Procurement and Construction activities, courses on health, safety and environment protection activities, specifications, standards and regulations as well as permitting are to be taken.

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."
