supervise all activities of project and identify all errors in plans manage and maintain accurate field notes and prepare comprehensive assessments report for all turbines and generators oversee working of all engineering personnel and inspect all materials and assist to resolve all construction process examining all claims from the contractor , preparing data relevant to such claim.
recording process in details reporting on all the foregoing to the engineer in the form to requires resolve all customer questions within required time frame evaluate all improvement operations and ensure availability of all resources and coordinate with customer to prepare all outages schedules perform regular evaluation in all observance trends and prepare all preventative maintenance on all parts

Thank you Osman for your valuable question ,and also I would like to express my appreciation for both Chadi and Osman Guni for their full detailed answers .
If I could have to add any thing, it is only to say that the site engineer is the site generator that act all the time to provide the power necessary to do all the activities on site in order to achieve smart successful deliverables on time within budget and to the specifications and expectations and requirements of all the stakeholders of the project , Although the site engineer is the first step on the path of engineering proficiency ,it is very important for any engineer to built his professional career based on it, Thank you Best regardser

sident engineer is to develop all site activites and ensure QA/QC plan at site and enure all work done according to specs and contract nd monitor project schedule.

• Agreeing details of methods of construction; checking that appropriate instructions are given and any information required by the contractor is supplied in good time.
• Ensuring that all materials and items to be supplied by the employer under other contracts which are to be incorporated in the works are ordered in good time.
• Checking that materials and workmanship are satisfactory and as specified; issuing instructions for remedying faults therein.
• Checking lines, levels, layout, etc.
of the works to ensure conformity with the drawings.
• Issuing further instructions, drawings and clarifications of detail as are necessary to ensure satisfactory construction of the works.
• Measuring the amount of work done, checking the contractor’s interim statements and preparing them for submission to the engineer.
• Undertaking all tests required and keeping records thereof.
• Recording progress in detail; keeping a check on the estimated final total cost of the project.
• Examining all claims from the contractor, preparing data relevant to such claims, sending to the contractor an initial response to every such claim.
• Reviewing dayworks sheets, increase of prices, and all other matters requiring accountancy checking.
• Checking the design of contractor’s temporary works for compliance with safety regulations and satisfactory construction of permanent works.
• Acting as the engineer’s Safety Supervisor on site.
• Reporting on all the foregoing to the engineer in the form he requires.

Many answers are in great details.
I would suffice giving few bullet points: A Resident Engineer ensures quality supervision at all work locations on a site.
He ensure that Schedules are followed and work is progressed smoothly.
He ensures that QA/QC procedures are followed and work is carried out as per standards.
He ensures that safe work practices are followed and workers are in a safe working environment using proper tools and wearing required PPE.
He ensure that drawings and proper documentation is available at site.
He is a link between Consultant and the Contractor and handles all issues and correspondence in time.
He communicates the site progress to all stakeholders and highlights problems at the earliest.

Respectable for engineer .they should find many dimension provide solution as technical and documentary.
They should have technical skill to trouble shoot from under working staffs .he scan whole team member to understand of capable person.engineer should play as self decision maker .
He should to understand plan and subject .main role is he is responsible for site survey .
