Site engineers act as day-to-day managers on a construction site, and the main source of technical advice and quality control for everyone working on it. The role also involves levelling and surveying a site, checking drawings and quantities and ensuring the accuracy of calculations.
Site engineers agree the price and oversee the choice for materials and plant to be used on the project.
A site engineer will plan the work to be done and organise things so that deadlines are met. If technical or any other problems crop up, it is up to the site engineer to resolve them. For many site engineers, the most satisfying aspect is seeing a project successfully reach completion.
Site engineer Richard Fuller is working for Amey on a Transport for London contract. He says: “Every day is different with varied challenges. You are only as good as the team around you. So treat your workforce fairly, and they will give you back the extra effort you sometimes need. Treat your client with respect and you will gain respect. If you can overcome problems proactively, and stay positive, even if things go wrong, you will look back on your achievements with great satisfaction."
A site engineer is the individual who works usually for the contractors team to manage the mobility of labour work force and materials in coordination with the suppliers in order to accomplish a particular work scope at project site. Whereas, a Technical Engineer is the individual who works usually for the client or consultants team in managing the review and approval of all technical submittal/prequalification/physical sample tags & mock up/materials & inspection request of a proposed material/work method from the main contractor prior to fabrication/execution of work/installation of materials at project site.
What is Engineering Technology?
RIT’s engineering technology programs are application focused degrees housed in the College of Applied Science and Technology (CAST). RIT is proud to offer the largest selection of highly ranked engineering technology programs in the country. These programs combine theoretical coursework heavily reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiences and project work with a focus on the application of engineering principles. If you learn by doing, the inquiry-based, applied-learning methodology of our engineering technology programs may be the right choice for you. While the majority of our faculty members have earned Ph.Ds., all have extensive experience working as engineers in industry. This level of preparation enables our faculty to bring a unique perspective of teaching and learning into our classrooms and laboratories. RIT's engineering technology programs prepare students to enter the workforce in a variety of engineering roles as design engineers, civil engineers, product development engineers, applications engineers, test engineers, manufacturing engineers and more. Approximately25% of our graduates pursue advanced degrees including the completion of MS, MBA or doctoral degrees.
What is Engineering?
In our engineering majors, opportunities abound in the design and development of systems, research and experimental work, supervision of technical projects, and managerial positions in industry. Based in theory, engineering graduates typically work on the design and development of new products, applied research projects, and open-ended design challenges. Engineering degree programs incorporate classroom and laboratory instruction, integrative design experiences and applied research projects to prepare students for industrial work assignments or for advanced study in graduate school. Our Kate Gleason College of Engineering, which was ranked27th in the world by Business Insider, also offers a number of degrees at the graduate level.
