Please differentiate between resident engineer and project manager for a supervising consultant in terms of duties and responsibilities?

The title of project manager has taken on broader dimensions since. Project managers oversee all elements of a project, which could include manufacturing, construction and marketing. In a large corporation, for example, a company might have a multiphase construction project. The project manager would oversee the administrative needs of the project, including budgeting and funding, but would have an on-site construction manager involved in the day-to-day personnel and site supervision. The project manager becomes the "face" of the project.

It depends on the form of contract agreed between the contractor and the client. Resident engineer can have subordinates to assist him in administration of contract.
