Bus/Financial - Environment & Ecology / Project management
Spanish term or phrase: mes-profesional
El término aparece en el presupuesto de un proyecto ambiental.
Al lado de este término aparece el valor que devengaría ese tipo de persona en el proyecto.
Por el mismo estilo aparece "mes-técnico" y "mes-profesional".

Agradezco cualquier ayuda con este término.

professional OR graduate specialist (staff) monthly hours
Explanation:
I am mindful of MEW's insistence on professional = graduate of University in Spanish. The professional class in English used to be people like doctors/dentists/teachers/lawyers but the term has widened imo now and is bandied about quite a bit to include non-graduates so perhaps graduate specialist will get beyond this?

I think man-hours is not really a good collocation for said professional so monthly hours offered as alternative. The other would be (specialist) technician monthly hours or man hours

n.
A person following a profession, especially a learned profession.
One who earns a living in a given or implied occupation: hired a professional to decorate the house.
A skilled practitioner; an expert.

Professional (Month)


Explanation:
Pareciera que se trata de un presupuesto donde se detalla el gasto mensual en concepto de salarios/honorarios que se le deberán pagar a "profesionales". Los otros términos se refieren a las categorías de "técnicos" y de "tecnólogos", y se le puede aplicar el mismo concepto, añadiendo (Month) despúes del término que deseas traducir.

senior expert-month


Explanation:
y "junior specialist-month".

Creo que por ahí va la cosa. Otra forma de expresarlo sería por rango administrativo, pero necesitaríamos más contexto.

man month


Explanation:
maybe it´s the following
The similar concept of a man-day, man-week, man-month, or man-year[3][4] is used on very large projects. It is the amount of work performed by an average worker during one day, week, month, or year, respectively. The number of hours worked by an individual during a year varies greatly according to cultural norm(s) and economics. The average annual hours actually worked per person in employment as reported by OECD countries in 2007, for example, ranged from a minimum of 1389 hours (Netherlands) to a maximum of 2316 hours

neutral  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Jessica, the problem here is that "técnicos" are professionals in English, while in Spanish this denomination is used for people with diplomas from institutes or academies (other than colleges/universities)
