Projektbearbeitung

English translation: project engineering

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Projektbearbeitung
English translation:project engineering

Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: Projektbearbeitung
Would this be project management?

Absolutely no context I'm afraid apart from the fact that it's in a CV for a pipeline engineer:

Auslandserfahrung: Projektbearbeitung in Europa

It's been entered in the glossary as "project processing", but this doesn't sound right to me.

Thanks for any ideas.

project management


Explanation:
If you are a project (sometimes "program") manager you don't need to be a "manager" but you "manage a project".
There is also the term "Projektingenieur" for "project engineer" in German.
Another possibility: "project development" (?)

Some more ideas:

The point is that with \"project management\" it is not clear if one needs to be a \"manager\". But I really like \"Project engineering\" (< Klaus), too.
\"Project work\" (< Simon Brown), for me, corresponds more to \"Projektarbeit!\" which is less than \"-bearbeitung\".
I understand \"Project execution\" rather as \"Projektabwicklung!\".

Any more comments to \"project development\"?
Or is this the old point \"engineering\" vs. \"development\" (= \"Entwicklung\" for both)?
