"Before the project starts, the cost comes first". The quality of cost engineer is not only directly related to the cost and quality of the project, but also related to the success or failure of the project. Therefore, the cost engineer plays an important role in the whole project. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the demand for cost engineers in China is in short supply, and many companies engaged in construction engineering compete for the senior talent of cost engineers with high salaries and high benefits. In the demand for construction talents, engineering cost engineers have become a hot potato, and are also praised as "elite talents" by the construction industry. The "five members" in the construction industry refer to cost-makers, constructors, quality inspectors, safety officers and materials workers, and are the basic posts of various functions in the construction industry. After the country implemented the system of holding certificates in this industry, more and more students who received formal construction education passed the examination and became "five members", and on this basis, they grew into senior talents in the industry. Therefore, in this industry that emphasizes experience, the "five members" can often open the door for fresh graduates and people in the industry who have not been in business for a long time, and become their "stepping stone" and "cornerstone" to enter the industry.
With the continuous development of China's market and the continuous improvement of the system of economists and engineers, professional titles are playing an increasingly important role in various fields. Job promotion, salary promotion, professional qualification examination, bidding qualification of construction enterprises, and household registration distribution of foreigners have all become necessary rigid conditions. In order to meet the market demand and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of professional and technical personnel of economic organizations, relevant functional departments have been working hard to carry out professional exchanges on project cost and related professional and technical personnel, paving the way for everyone's professionalization, so that everyone can better contribute to the economic construction of the motherland and serve to the maximum extent. The reality is that graduates majoring in engineering cost have just entered the society from school, lacking work experience and practical operation ability, and need enterprises to provide practical operation ability such as internship and training. However, enterprises in the cost industry generally have various reasons, such as small scale, few people engaged in cost consultation and high work intensity. They are unable to provide training for graduates. In addition, the cost professionals who accept the project cost consulting business often need to work independently in the project budget, and a professional with the ability to work independently in the project cost needs at least 3 years of budget work experience. In addition, it is a hard and long process from budgeter to engineer, which requires hard conditions such as working experience and education in cost budgeting, as well as the ability to take exams and continue learning. This is an insurmountable process of self-growth and self-transcendence.
