Professional introduction
civil engineering
Civil Engineering (English: Civil Engineering) is the general name of science and technology for building various engineering facilities.
It not only refers to the application of materials, equipment and technical activities such as survey, design, construction, maintenance and repair, but also refers to the object of engineering construction. That is, all kinds of engineering facilities, such as houses, roads, railways, pipelines, tunnels, bridges, canals, dams, ports, power stations, airports, offshore platforms, water supply and drainage, protection works, etc., which directly or indirectly serve human life, production, military affairs and scientific research.
Employment field
Civil engineering technology
Representative posts: builder, constructor, structural engineer, technical manager, project manager, etc.
Representative industries: construction enterprises, real estate development enterprises, road and bridge construction enterprises, etc.
Employment prospects: Just as we see the high-rise buildings around us constantly rising, the wide and flat roads constantly extending in all directions, the demand for engineering and technical talents in the civil construction industry is also growing. In 2004, enterprises that entered various talent markets to recruit engineering and technical personnel involved 100 industries, among which the demand for talents in housing and civil engineering and construction industries has jumped to the top of talent markets in many cities. With the deepening of economic development, road network transformation and urban infrastructure construction, the demand for civil engineering technicians will continue to rise at present and in the future. Coupled with the upgrading of roads and bridges and urban infrastructure, as long as the talent market is not over-saturated, it can be said that the employment prospects of civil engineering technicians have been very good.
Typical career paths: builder/technician-engineer/foreman, bid leader-technical manager-project manager/chief engineer.
Experts from the Civil Employment Network suggest that 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 builders, 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 before they can apply. Therefore, graduates majoring in civil engineering should pay attention to the update of knowledge structure and apply for relevant professional qualifications as soon as possible even after they take up their jobs. College students who want to engage in engineering and technical work can choose construction site survey, construction materials, geotechnical engineering, subgrade, pavement, and construction and survey of small bridges and culverts in road and bridge sections during their internship.
project plan
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, engineering cost consulting institutions, etc.
Employment prospects: The demand for engineering designers from various survey and design institutes is 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 new employment growth points in civil engineering industry.
Typical career path: budgeter-budget engineer-senior consultant.
Expert advice: This kind of position requires not only professional knowledge, but also sufficient overall situation and work experience. Generally speaking, his salary is in direct proportion to his 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. Most of the architectural design talents in the market require more than 5 years of work experience, have the first-class registered architect qualification, and have served as designers of large-scale residential or architectural projects. This kind of post also needs to obtain the corresponding qualification certificate. For example, a builder needs to pass the professional qualification examination organized by the state to obtain the Certificate of Certified Architect before he can take up his post, and a budget engineer needs to obtain the qualification of certified cost engineer or budget engineer. In addition, to engage in this kind of occupation, we need to strengthen our self-cultivation, for example, we need to be familiar with computer operation and maintenance, 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 essence of architecture in different times and countries, and be able to master and forge their own design styles. All these need to accumulate their own cultural details from the student days. During the internship, try to choose some related units and positions, such as real estate appraisal, engineering budget, engineering drawing, etc.
engineering supervision
Representative position: supervision engineer
Representative industries: construction, road and bridge supervision company, engineering quality inspection and supervision department.
Employment prospect: Project supervision is a new profession. 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. With the improvement of the national engineering supervision system, the supervision industry has a broader development space.
Typical career path: supervisor-documenter-direct project leader-professional supervision engineer-chief supervision engineer.
Expert advice: The supervision industry is a new industry, so it is also an industry closely integrated with the qualification system, and the promotion of positions is closely related to the acquisition of personal qualifications. Generally speaking, supervision needs to obtain a provincial supervision license, and the project leader needs to obtain a provincial supervision engineer or supervision license, with rich work experience and strong work ability. Professional supervision engineer shall obtain the qualification certificate of provincial supervision engineer, and the chief supervision engineer shall obtain the professional qualification certificate of national registered supervision engineer. Students majoring in civil engineering want to enter this industry. During school, you can participate in the supervision training courses organized by the provincial highway system and construction 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. During the internship, you can choose a supervision company that is consistent with your own direction, such as road and bridge, building direction, etc. And engaged in on-site supervision, measurement and data management. (Expert advice: The project supervisor is in an awkward position. If you can choose the direction of construction and budget, try to avoid the profession of supervision. )
Engineering maintenance
Representative position: Engineer of rail transit and railway public works department, usually the engineering and technical personnel of the construction unit.
Representative industries: rail transit, railway works section (office).
Employment prospects: The 11th Five-Year Plan plans to have a national road network of 65,438+10,000 kilometers. Many large and medium-sized cities are building subway transportation, which requires a large number of technicians to carry out inspection and maintenance.
Typical career path: technician-assistant engineer-engineer-senior engineer.
