Duties and Responsibilities of a Civil Sub-Engineer

As a sort of "Right-hand man,"Civil Sub-Engineers assist us in managing the day-to-day work of an engineer.

1.    Site Supervision:

Check to see that all construction work complies with the designs, specifications, and standards.

Oversee the work of contractors and laborers on site.

2.    Assisting Engineers:

Help civil engineers with their surveying exercises and field levelling.

Prepare construction schedules and progress reports.

3.    Quality Control:

Check materials arriving at the site for quality.

Inspect to ensure that work is following both safety and quality guidelines.

4.    Documentation and Record Keeping:

Accurately record every day's construction activities.

Ensure that all measurements, quantities and site conditions are properly documented.

5.    Technical Assistance:

Help contractors and workers understand the blueprints, plans and drawings.

Put up with small technical issues at the site according to the engineers' guidance.

6.    Coordination:

Be the go-between for the engineer and the work at the site.

Report progress updates or site issues back to senior engineers quickly.

7.    Health and Safety Monitoring:

Enforce safety and health protocols at the site.

Send supervisors any accidents or hazards immediately.

Duties and Responsibilities of a Civil Engineer

(Civil Engineers are responsible for planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of structures and infrastructure.)

1.    Project Planning and Design:

Plan and design engineering projects like roads, bridges, buildings, water systems.

Use tools like AutoCAD, ETABS and STAAD Pro to analyze and design.

2.    Site Management:

Oversee all aspects of construction to ensure things get done in time.

Check project progress and make sure we stay on schedule and within budget limits.

3.    Quality Assurance:

Use quality control standards and audit test results of raw materials and construction.

Check the work of construction to see that it meets specifications and legal requirements.

4.    Coordination with Stakeholders:

Co-ordinate with architects, subcontractors and clients to reconcile design differences with reality.

Regular contacts with project managers to communicate what can be done and report progress.

5.    Budget and Cost Management:

Make estimates of cost and ensure the project is kept within the budget plan.

Approve payment requests and check bills to make sure expenses do not go over estimates.

6.    Documentation:

Write technical reports, contracts and avoid drafting work.

Document the plan and all modifications.

7.    Environmental and Legal Compliance:

Ensure plans and work comply with environmental regulations and local unofficial laws.

Carry out environmental impact appraisals where necessary.

8.    Problem-Solving and Decision-Making:

Deal with technical problems that emerge during construction, and put some things right.

Take decisions on making changes to design or using alternative methods of construction.

9.    Health and Safety:

Devise safety rules for the site.

Make sure that workers comply with health and safety rules to avoid accidents.

10. Innovation and Continuing Improvement:

Search for new materials, technologies, methods of work that can save time and be greener in the future.

Follow developments in civil engineering to know new knowledge.
