Project Engineer Training

The Project Engineer level training course is intended for those individuals, such as field supervisors, who are responsible for planning and implementing maintenance and inspection projects. These users also include the managers who oversee project schedules, costs, and resources. They are responsible for ensuring that field activity data is recorded and for analyzing project data and performance.

From the perspective of PipeCraft, Project Engineer level users ensure the accurate recording of all field activity data. They perform data analysis and generate reports based on the recorded information, and schedule follow-up projects that may be indicated by their analyses. They perform administrative functions such as managing equipment and personnel resources, as well as project contacts.

Project Engineer level users have read-only access to the PipeCraft security functions and full access to all other functions, with the exception of procedures, programs and budget activities.

The work of a user at this level focuses primarily on the project and GIS functions of the software, supplemented by the administration tools for managing project resources and generating reports. Therefore, this course does not cover topics such as procedure, program, and budget activities, or the asset management functions.
