What is the difference between site engineer and project engineer?

Project Engineer is responsible from concept design/engineering till final commissioning & handover of project but site engineer is responsible primarily for site activities looking at site with the collaboration of contractors to mobilize manpower for construction, site inspection, supervision & to monitor work progress & report their manager, who may be sitting in head office or at site. We can say, A project engineer may be handling role of site engineer as well depending upon organization structure but site engineer role is limited & it is for construction & supervision only. 

Site Engineer is concerned with the Execution of physical work at site.Also they are the main source of technical advice & quality control for everyone working on it.

Project Manager is responsible for all the project.

Site Engineer controls site activities and work progress whereas the Project Engineer manages project objectives, work quality, cost and duration.

Project engineer is the overall in charge for the whole project, while site engineer is only in charge for a specific works such as, drainage engineer, bridge or roadworks engineer.

The site engineer is responsible for supervising engineering activities at site and providing an on-site engineering service. He reports to the site manager on project related matters and to a technical manager at home office. A project engineer is responsible for the engineering of project related equipment and reports to the project manager on project matters and to a technical manager on engineering matters.
