What are the specialties of cost engineers?

Cost engineers are divided into four professional categories: civil engineering, traffic engineering, water conservancy engineering and installation engineering. Among them, the civil engineering and installation works are the responsibility of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development; The transportation engineering major is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport; The Ministry of Water Resources is responsible for water conservancy engineering.

1, majoring in civil engineering

Civil engineering major is mainly responsible for cost budget, project settlement, cost monitoring, engineering change visa and other work, and the work units are generally construction units and consulting units. Civil engineering is a major with more applicants and more employment opportunities among cost engineers. After all, business and residence are just needed.

2. Installation specialty

The employment scope of installation specialty is not as good as that of civil engineering specialty, but at present, the employees engaged in installation by cost engineers are very scarce. Because installation requires higher knowledge of cost personnel and requires a certain degree of education, there are not as many candidates taking the installation examination as civil engineering.

3. Water conservancy major

Water conservancy professional units are generally in state-owned enterprises and institutions, which may be relatively stable.

4. Transportation major

Traffic cost engineers pay more attention to highway tunnel cost engineering, and their salary level is equivalent to that of water conservancy specialty.

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. The state implements the qualification system of cost engineers in the field of project cost.
