Mentorship in those areas is available from experienced engineers working for:
1) the companies that do that kind of work - petroleum and chemical industry, for example.
2) the companies that supply that type of equipment for those industries - compressor manufacturers, compressor "packagers", motor manufacturers, etc.
3) the companies that do the detailed engineering (these are typically called EPCs, or Electrical Procurement Companies) for things like PIDs, etc.

Access to those engineers means working for the company in question, usually.

Estimation and management of time/cost is going to be experiential - probably from one or more of these companies although the suppliers might only have a handle on their own slice of the pie, rather than the big picture.
