Design
- Produce cost-effective and safe civil/structural designs
- Produce tender and project civil/structural designs. Compare and assess project vs tender scope
- Review alternatives and cost effectiveness
- Produce quantity and man-hour budgets and list associated with scope
- Work closely with-in scope, quantity budget and man-hour budget
- Understand project scope, quantity allowances and man-hour budget
- Monitor changes to scope and effects to quantity and man-hour budget and ensure authorisation to changes and compliance with quantity allowances
- Verify civil/structural engineering software packages
- Be fully conversant with restrictions and qualifications of software
- Order of magnitude check of analysis results
Administration
- To maintain an effective record-keeping system for calculations, correspondence and technical information
- Indexing, records, design criteria and calculations
- Referencing to location of software input, numbers, dates and signatures.
