1) For Plant Maintenance/CS area, SAP has some standard Workflows defined for - Maintenance Notification, Service Notification, Maintenance order & Service Order. Go through the link below which explains the scenarios for the workflows in PM/CS:

You can create your custom workflows for any other object depending on your Business requirement. Talk to your ABAPer and they should be able to help for custom Workflow development.

2) PM consultant role in workflow development is more functional such as understanding the workflow requirement, making sure that if there is a Standard workflow available, then implement that using help of an ABAper, testing end-to-end the workflow and Business scenario, so that there are no loop holes. If there is any custom workflow developemnt, then writing functional specs. etc.

Hope that helps!

Thanks.
