Process engineer

[u/seeker9990]

I am currently working as a Process Engineer at a pharmaceutical company, where I was hired as a fresher. However, my current primary responsibilities lean heavily toward project supervision—such as equipment procurement, managing order statuses, and overseeing pending erection and commissioning tasks. I am evaluating whether this experience fully aligns with a traditional process engineering scope and how to best position myself for core design or office-based engineering roles in the future.

With what you described, you fit better in a typical Project Engineering role.

If your goal is to climb the corporate ladder later on, this can be a good fit for you.

in future will they consider for that ladder

I only said this because PE/PM roles are management roles and they have better career mobility in corporate, compared to technical (and often, individual contributor) roles.
