According to the talent market survey, although the wage income varies from place to place in China, the monthly salary of registered cost engineers is generally more than 5,000 yuan, and some of them hold several jobs, up to more than 20,000 yuan.
Many large companies engaged in construction projects compete to register cost engineers with high salaries and benefits. Therefore, due to the shortage of registered cost engineers and good employment prospects in the future, the registered cost engineer examination has attracted many related engineering and technical talents to participate in it.
Cost engineer refers to the engineering economic professionals who are qualified by the state, licensed to practice after registration, specially appointed, entrusted or hired by a department or unit, responsible for and assisting them in the valuation, pricing and management of engineering cost, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Units and departments engaged in the construction, design, construction, project cost consultation and project cost management of engineering construction activities must be equipped with professional and technical personnel with the qualification of cost engineers in the positions of valuation, evaluation, audit (nuclear), control and management.
