Expert's suggestion: With the continuous improvement of China's qualification certification system, engineers and technicians in the civil engineering industry not only need to be proficient in professional knowledge and technology, but also need to obtain necessary qualification certificates. The qualification certification of engineering and technical personnel mainly includes national first-class and second-class registered architects, national registered civil engineers and national first-class and second-class registered structural engineers. It should be noted that these professional qualifications require a certain number of years of relevant work experience to apply. Therefore, graduates majoring in civil engineering should pay attention to the update of knowledge structure even if they take up their jobs, and apply as soon as possible to obtain relevant professional qualifications. College students who want to engage in engineering and technical work can choose construction site survey, building materials, geotechnical engineering, subgrade, pavement, bridge and culvert construction and road and bridge section survey during their internship.

2, design, planning and budget direction

Representative positions: project designer, structural audit, urban planner, budget officer, budget engineer, etc.

Representative industries: engineering survey and design units, real estate development enterprises, functional departments of transportation or municipal engineering organs, project cost, consulting institutions, etc.

Employment prospects:

In recent years, the demand for engineering designers from various survey and design institutes has been increasing. As a new profession, urban planning needs more modern design and planning talents with the deepening of urban construction. With the rise of consulting industry, consulting service personnel in construction industry such as engineering budget and final accounts have also become a new employment growth point in civil engineering industry.

Typical career path: budgeter-budget engineer-senior consultant.

Annual salary reference: budget officer:1.5,000 ~ 30,000 yuan; Budget engineer: 25,000 ~ 60,000 yuan; Urban planner: 40,000 ~ 70,000 yuan; Architect: 40,000 ~ 65,438+10,000 yuan; Chief architect: more than 250,000 yuan.

Expert advice:

This kind of position requires not only professional knowledge, but also sufficient overall situation and work experience. Generally speaking, its salary is directly proportional to its work experience. Taking architects as an example, modern architecture also requires environmental protection and sustainable development, which requires architects to have a solid foundation and rich experience, be good at learning and experience in practice. At present, most architects in the market require more than 5 years of work experience. Have the first-class registered architect qualification, and have worked as a designer in the development of large-scale residential buildings or construction projects. Such a position also needs to obtain the corresponding qualification certificate. For example, a construction engineer needs to pass the professional qualification examination for registered architects organized by the state before he can take up his post, and a budget engineer needs to obtain the qualification of registered cost engineer or budget engineer. In addition, they need to strengthen their self-cultivation in all aspects before they can engage in such occupations. If you need to be familiar with computer operation and maintenance, you can skillfully use CAD to draw various engineering drawings, and use P3 to prepare construction and production plans. Some positions, such as architectural designers, need to have a deep understanding of anthropology, aesthetics, history, and the architectural essence of different times and countries, and to be able to integrate and forge their own design styles. All these need to accumulate their own cultural details from the student days. You should try to choose some related units and jobs, such as real estate appraisal, engineering budget, engineering drawing, etc.

3, quality supervision and engineering supervision direction

Representative position: supervision engineer

Representative industries: construction, road and bridge supervision companies, and engineering quality inspection and supervision departments.

Employment prospect: Engineering supervision is a new profession in recent years. With the increasingly standardized quality supervision of buildings and road and bridge construction in China, the supervision industry has faced unprecedented development opportunities since its birth, and has a broader development space with the improvement of the national engineering supervision system.

Typical career path: supervisor-documenter-direct project leader-professional supervision engineer-chief supervision engineer.

Annual salary reference: site supervisor:1.8,000 ~ 25,000 yuan; Direct person in charge of the project: 25,000 ~ 40,000 yuan; Professional supervision engineer: 30,000 ~ 50,000 yuan; Chief supervision engineer: 40,000 ~ 80,000 yuan.

Expert advice:

The supervision industry is a new industry, so it is also closely related to the qualification system, and the promotion of positions is closely related to the acquisition of personal qualifications. Generally speaking, supervisors need to obtain the certificate of provincial supervisor, and the project leader needs to obtain the certificate of provincial supervision engineer or supervisor, with rich work experience and strong work ability. Professional supervision engineers need to obtain the qualification certificate of provincial supervision engineers, and the chief supervision engineer needs to obtain the professional qualification certificate of national registered supervision engineers. Students majoring in wood and civil engineering want to enter this industry. During the school, you can participate in the supervision training courses organized by the provincial highway system and building system, and obtain the supervision post certificate after passing the examination, and then obtain the corresponding level of practice qualification certificate with the increase of work experience.
