| abstract | - The chief engineer's duties range from making the duty shift roster for engineering personnel to advising the captain on possible solutions for certain technical problems. In general the chief engineer is an officer with enough experience in his or her own field of expertise and with seniority over the rest of the engineers. A chief engineer is also a member of the senior staff and accountable for the overall performance of the vessel. In the context of engineering, the chief engineer may be seen giving orders to persons who would ordinarily outrank him in other contexts, e.g., the second officer. For example, Data regularly takes orders from Geordi La Forge in engineering contexts, even though as the second officer Data outranks Geordi in absolute terms. (TNG) The captain of a Starfleet starship has the prerogative to appoint someone to the post of chief engineer even if he or she does not have the seniority which normally would apply to this function. Persons with vast experience and engineering knowledge but no appropriate Starfleet rank could be appointed as chief engineer in this manner. (VOY: "Parallax") Some noted chief engineers in Starfleet history were:
* Commander Charles Tucker III of Enterprise NX-01
* Lieutenant Paul Stamets of the USS Discovery
* Lieutenant Commander (later Commander, and later Captain) Montgomery Scott of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)
* Lieutenant (later Lieutenant Commander) Geordi La Forge of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)
* Senior Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien of the USS Defiant, also chief of operations of Deep Space 9
* Lieutenant junior grade B'Elanna Torres of the USS Voyager The Starfleet of the alternate reality established in 2233 by the temporal incursion of the Romulan Nero had one note worthy chief engineer:
* Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)
