What 'qualifies' you to do that though? I'm sure they're not paying people just to show up and point fingers around the place...
Depending on the company you either design the system and sell it, or you just get what the customer wants and hand it to the engineers.
Obviously someone with design capability makes more, though it's not complex. All the equations have been worked out, you just supply the variables.
Typical small scale problem:
20 welding cells in a row. They want to use fume arms to capture. Design a ducting system assuming 6" D fume arms at 800 CFM each drop. It's simple but I see engineering and architecture firms fuck up the design all the time because they aren't used to the transport velocities required.
If I can do it, anyone can. It's not difficult. Simply put, no one grows up saying "I want to do industrial pollution control when I grow up". Average age in my industry is about 45-50 for sales guys. If I was competing against all the young men and women who want to be cops and nurses, I wouldn't have had the opportunities I've had. Lack of available talent = opportunity.
The talent comes in on the sales side. You're convincing someone to spend 200-500k with you, if you fuck it up, the plant manager usually loses his job. It's all about making them trust you, and of course if you have a hand in design, knowing wtf you're doing.
