Construction Project Manager Job Description

Construction project managers control the time, cost and quality of


construction projects, from residential, commercial and industrial buildings to
roads, bridges and schools. They plan and coordinate all aspects of the
construction process, including hiring contractors and working with
engineers, architects and vendors. A single manager might oversee an entire
construction project, or multiple managers might oversee specific aspects of
a larger project. Managers can be self-employed or be employees of
construction management companies, developers or property owners.
Construction Project Manager Duties
Managers might begin their jobs by determining the scheduling of different
phases of a project based on established deadlines. They often negotiate
contracts with architects, vendors, contractors and other workers. The
securing of building permits and licenses and delivery of materials and
equipment to construction sites also might be issues that must be addressed
initially.
As a project continues, construction managers typically confer with
supervisors or other managers to monitor construction progress, including
worker productivity and compliance with building and safety codes. Because
they must ensure that a project is completed according to schedule,
managers must resolve problems that arise due to inclement weather,
emergencies or other issues that may cause delays.
Construction Project Manager Requirements
Increasingly, construction project managers are expected to have a
bachelor's degree in a construction-related field, such as building science,
construction management or civil engineering, as opposed to just having
industry experience. However, years of construction experience still is
needed for entry into this profession and can be gained through working as
an intern, craft worker or supervisor on a construction job.

Quality Control Engineers
Quality engineers monitor and audit the quality of all manufactured goods in
a variety of industries, including the automobile, textile, clothing, food, and
electronics industries. They work to not only find defects, but also to find the
cause of the defect and develop a solution. Relevant education is available at
the associate through master's degree levels, and industry certifications can
boost career options.
Quality Control Engineers Job Description and Duties:
Across all types of industry, quality engineers are at work monitoring, testing
and inspecting products to make sure they meet specified standards. Quality
engineers test products to determine how long they will last, what part may
break down first and how to improve product durability. They inspect product
materials, mechanics and electrical systems.
Materials quality engineers verify product dimensions, color, texture and
strength and locate imperfections. Mechanical quality engineers check levels
of liquids and gasses, verify that parts move correctly and test the proper fit

of components. Electrical quality engineers check the flow of electricity and


ensure the proper operation of equipment and machinery.
Quality engineers may work in laboratory settings running tests and
duplicating real-world conditions. They use tools such as micrometers,
calipers, gauges, volt meters, ammeters, and ohmmeters, as well as
electronic inspection equipment like coordinate measuring machines (CMMs),
to aid them in their work. The quality engineer also designs systems by
which production quality can be checked in an ongoing process. In addition,
quality engineers typically work with the production team to implement any
new testing criteria or assembly methods they may have developed.
Quality Control Engineers Education Requirements:
An associate's degree in quality engineering is the minimum requirement for
entry-level positions in this field. A bachelor's degree in quality, mechanical
or industrial engineering is required for higher-level positions. A master's
degree in engineering or a Master of Science in Quality Assurance is desired
for management positions.
Safety Engineers
Plan, implement, and coordinate safety programs, requiring application of
engineering principles and technology, to prevent or correct unsafe
environmental working conditions.
Safety Engineers Job Description and Duties:

Maintain and apply knowledge of current policies,


regulations, and industrial processes.
Recommend process and product safety features that will
reduce employees' exposure to chemical, physical, and
biological work hazards.
Inspect facilities, machinery, and safety equipment to
identify and correct potential hazards, and to ensure safety
regulation compliance.
Install safety devices on machinery, or direct device
installation.
Investigate industrial accidents, injuries, or occupational
diseases to determine causes and preventive measures.

Review plans and specifications for construction of new


machinery or equipment to determine whether all safety
requirements have been met.
Report or review findings from accident investigations,
facilities inspections, or environmental testing.
Interview employers and employees to obtain information
about work environments and workplace incidents.
Evaluate adequacy of actions taken to correct health
inspection violations.
Review employee safety programs to determine their
adequacy.
Conduct or direct testing of air quality, noise, temperature, or
radiation levels to verify compliance with health and safety
regulations.
Conduct or coordinate worker training in areas such as safety
laws and regulations, hazardous condition monitoring, and
use of safety equipment.
Provide technical advice and guidance to organizations on
how to handle health-related problems and make needed
changes.
Interpret safety regulations for others interested in industrial
safety such as safety engineers, labor representatives, and
safety inspectors.
Maintain liaisons with outside organizations such as fire
departments, mutual aid societies, and rescue teams, so that
emergency responses can be facilitated.
Write and revise safety regulations and codes.
Design and build safety equipment.
Confer with medical professionals to assess health risks and
to develop ways to manage health issues and concerns.
