ABSTRACT
The project team is the equivalent of a separate company organization that has been established to perform the work. The team calls upon contractor/owner resources as required to assist them in performing this work. The growing trend of project operation is toward the project task force, with some modifications to suit specific project and corporate needs. The concept of dividing a major project into smaller components that are controllable allows each project component to operate on the task force principle. The project team under the project manager and his coordinating staff consists of three production groups: engineering, procurement, and construction. This chapter describes key project personnel such as project manager, project engineer, project procurement manager, project construction manager and project control manager. When establishing a project organization, the first priority is to identify the components of the facility. It may prove desirable to combine several components into a single project work assignment.
