How to be a good engineering director

1. The director should have the concept of overall situation

The so-called concept of overall situation means that the director should first make clear the objectives of supervision work, and then master the working methods to carry out construction project supervision and related service activities fairly, independently, honestly and scientifically. At the same time, we should not care about personal gains and losses, always put the interests of the company and the owner first, obey the supervision and management of the company and the higher authorities, and provide high-quality technical support and supervision and management services for construction projects.

1.1 Strengthen ideological and moral cultivation, establish the concept of the rule of law, and enhance the ability of execution

Today's society is developing rapidly, people's living standards are greatly improved, and many people live in houses and drive cars. However, some people use their powers to seek personal gain and corruption through improper means, which has caused great losses and negative effects to the country, society and people, and finally they can only be punished by law. As a director, he should learn from it, use his power correctly, strengthen ideological and moral cultivation, establish the concept of rule of law, face his outlook on life and values correctly, put an end to all external bad temptations, restrain greed, have the responsibility and obligation to guide and influence everyone around him, pass on positive energy, improve his execution ability and establish a good social image for the company.

1.2 Strengthen professional technical training and improve business level

The times are updating, the society is developing, and the development of construction engineering technology is changing with each passing day. If an engineering technician can't master and apply new technology skillfully, it will be very sad, and eventually he will face self-elimination. As a director, we should first adapt to the pace of technological renewal, concentrate on the core of technology, and strive to master the principles and details of technology implementation. Secondly, we should go deep into the construction line, inspect the implementation process of new technology on the spot, compare the advantages and disadvantages of operation methods, sum up experience, discard its dross and absorb the essence. Finally, combining theory and practice, according to the actual situation, make good use of new technology to ensure that the technology is advanced, reliable, economical and reasonable.

1.3 Good psychological quality and active response to pressure from all sides

In engineering practice, supervision units are often in a weak position. As a director, on the one hand, he must insist on independent, fair, scientific and standardized supervision business, on the other hand, he must try his best to cater to the intention of the construction unit, and he is often in a dilemma. After all, under the current supervision system, the supervision unit is entrusted by the construction unit, and the supervision fee is paid by the construction unit. The supervision party has to obey the command and arrangement of the construction unit, resulting in illegal supervision and even being punished by the higher authorities. Therefore, as a director, on the one hand, he should have a good psychological quality, and everything should not go to extremes. He should actively adjust his mentality, think calmly, grasp the essence of the incident, turn pressure into motivation, straighten out his thinking, start from the source, and insist on not doing anything illegal. On the other hand, we should actively respond to the pressure from all sides, and explain the unreasonable requirements put forward by the construction unit or other participating units patiently from a professional perspective, so as to convince people by reasoning. In case of extremely stubborn units, they should give written suggestions or opinions in time, explain the relationship between them and distinguish the responsibilities, so as to avoid supervision risks to the maximum extent.

1.4 Adhere to principles and enhance sense of responsibility

In recent years, there have been frequent engineering accidents, and people's first reaction is "Where is the supervisor?" "What does the supervisor do?" . In the face of such criticism, I think as a supervisor, everyone feels bad, but the facts are there, which can be said to be angry and dare not speak! There is no medicine for regret in this world. Moreover, the country now implements the lifelong responsibility system for project leaders. Once an accident occurs in a project, the performance and reputation of the director will be damaged, and even more, he will bear criminal responsibility and face legal sanctions. It can be seen from here that the director is actually a high-risk profession. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss! This requires that as a director, on the one hand, we should grasp the overall situation in practical work, and strive to do everything ourselves! At the same time, we should adhere to the principle, calmly analyze and make a correct judgment. On the other hand, as a director, he should have his own independent opinions and ideas on the projects he is in charge of. He should never be a "confused" director. He should go deep into reality, be good at implementing dynamic supervision by means of control, management and coordination, and strive to improve his sense of responsibility. He should always put the quality and safety of the project first and have a clear conscience!

2. The director should be good at listening to the opinions or suggestions of his subordinates and have the spirit of teamwork.

Building engineering includes many disciplines and specialties, and there are many people involved in the project construction, covering a wide range. As a director, you may not be proficient in everything, nor can you be perfect in communication and coordination. The ancients said, "Every three people must have a teacher." The director must not be arrogant and arbitrary, but should be good at listening to the opinions or suggestions of subordinates, which will reduce mistakes and improve work efficiency for making correct decisions. After all, the development of supervision work should be people-oriented, and the director should make good use of people. At the same time, being good at listening to subordinates' opinions or suggestions is also a kind of respect for subordinates and an affirmation of their work, which will play a good role in stimulating their enthusiasm for work and exerting their subjective initiative.

3. The director should conscientiously perform his job and play an exemplary role.

As a director, on the one hand, he should conscientiously perform the duties stipulated in the Code for Construction Project Supervision and perform the rights and obligations of supervision on behalf of the company according to the construction project supervision contract. On the other hand, we should also complete the tasks assigned by the company and the higher authorities on time. This is also a considerable workload for the director, but as a director, since he is in his position, he should do something. The director should not shirk or treat it negatively for any reason, but should give full play to the intelligence and wisdom of the director, be responsible, have the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, conscientiously perform his job and complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. At the same time, the director is the highest leader of the project supervision team, but everyone is equal before the work and tasks, and there is no privilege. Every supervisor should conscientiously perform his own job and complete the tasks assigned by his superiors. The director should play an exemplary role in his work, using more practical actions to influence his subordinates, and using less and not forcing them to ask for it.

4. The director should play the role of guidance, inspection and supervision.

The implementation of engineering projects has the characteristics of professionalism, complexity and combination, and the director should regularly organize training within the project supervision, strengthen technical guidance and improve the professional level of supervision personnel. Check the work of the personnel of the project supervision organization regularly or irregularly, and correct the problems in time when they are found. At the same time, we should actively encourage the supervision personnel, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the supervision personnel, organize special training when necessary, and ensure the normal operation of the project supervision organization, and strengthen supervision over the supervision personnel who do nothing or act indiscriminately.

5. The director should be forward-looking and strengthen the training of action strategies.

The director should be good at communication in his work, and strive to collect information about humanities, technology, policies and other aspects of the project, so as to be aware of the future supervision work. At the same time, in view of the particularity of related events, we can grasp its essence, trace back to the source, and make relevant countermeasures in advance to avoid becoming "deaf" and "blind" when something happens, which will lead to mistakes in supervision work. This requires that the director should be forward-looking and have a long-term plan for everything, not just looking at the present. Although the state has given supervision certain powers in relevant laws, regulations, rules and norms, it is not omnipotent to rely solely on power to carry out supervision work. In practice, the "head-on" working method is not desirable, and it is easy to form a sense of exclusion among the participating units, intensify contradictions and affect the normal development of supervision work. As a director, we should identify the weaknesses of the other party, pay attention to the strategy, identify the working methods, and "prescribe the right medicine."

6. Conclusion

Finally, as a director, you should be proud to be engaged in the supervision industry! Supervision has a long way to go, which requires us to keep pace with the times, forge ahead, strive to realize our own value and contribute to the vigorous development of the country's supervision!
