Job description

Job Description & Requirements

Site engineers are responsible for gathering the necessary materials and tools for their crew to use throughout the project. To do this, they refer to the design plans and liaise with suppliers and vendors. Once the materials arrive, they may test them to determine their quality and suitability. If necessary, they also hire additional staff to help in the project’s completion. For example, if the project’s deadline is approaching, the site engineer can hire more people to work on any remaining tasks. This enables the current crew to focus on and complete their objectives promptly.

Before the start of a project and while it’s in progress, a site engineer may suggest the most efficient ways to complete tasks and offer technical advice to crew members. For example, they might suggest using data from previous projects to create better forecasts. Another way that site engineers can improve on‑site efficiency is by performing quality assurance tests and giving feedback to the crew. They may also try to reduce a project’s operational costs by adjusting the inventory list to exclude unnecessary equipment or materials and researching alternative suppliers and vendors in the market who might offer lower prices.
