What is the use of a cost engineer? I majored in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation.

Cost member

Formerly known as budgeter, now collectively known as costumer, the whole country is generally divided into civil engineering specialty and installation specialty, and there are also some provinces (municipal, decoration and other majors) in the country. Cost engineer refers to the person who has obtained the qualification certificate through the unified examination of provinces or construction enterprises. The certificate of cost engineer organized by the province is only suitable for this province, and the examination is organized by major construction institutions all over the country. The certificate issued by China Construction Engineering Management Association is suitable for the whole country. The cost engineer is responsible for compiling the project budget and auditing the monthly target cost of the project. According to the actual situation, he compared the difference between the actual cost and the target cost, analyzed it, and became familiar with the production progress of the construction site. According to next month's production schedule, prepare this month's construction production statistics report and next month's construction budget.

Engineering cost specialty is a new specialty developed on the basis of engineering management specialty. Every project needs the full participation of the budgeter from commencement to completion, and the budgeter is required to budget the commencement budget, project progress appropriation and completion settlement.
