Who is the Project Manager?

From Engineers to Managers, but still Engineers:-Who should be the Project Manager?

The term Project Manager is rather generic and not too long ago, there had been a rather interesting discourse on “Who should be the Property Manager?”
Should it be the Architect or Engineer or Quality Surveyor or other professionals or even other proclaimed professions?
When professions tussle for territorial control, it will be the consumers who come out losers. It is important for professionals to avoid using legislation for territorial expansion, and they should keep in mind public and consumer interests at all times. Otherwise, if any sector of the professionals (or so proclaimed professionals) decides to manipulate legal loopholes to park themselves as having the sole rights to a particular trade, we may witness the emergence of ‘white’ collar professional trade unions which dictates that for e.g only Business Management degree holders have the right to set up businesses and so forth.
When, where additional management responsibility is added, the engineer’s status is then enhanced and one can then be re-designated as a manager to encompass his skill (technical or management). Thus, globally can have a Project Engineers reporting to a Project (Engineering) Manager, and the same goes for Construction Manager, Maintenance Manager, Building Manager, Procurement Manager and so forth.
Be it the plain Engineer, Engineering Manager or Manager, they will still have to perform fundamental engineering tasks on top of management. The same scenario will hold true for other professions along the same title track…….
