I would say that commissioning and project engrs are usually broad in knowledge but the engrs decribed by the 2nd writer are those who have very good knowledge in a few areas and they are generally much specialised. I worked in a japanese factory for 10 yrs and I am in between. While I was younger I specialised in a few areas but when I chose the mgt path I went broad in knowledge.
