What is the employment and development prospect of cost engineers in 2023? What can they do?

In 2023, the first-class cost engineer will have a good development prospect. The construction industry continues to develop at a high speed, and construction talents have been in a state of scarcity. All units engaged in construction, design, construction, cost consultation and other construction activities must be equipped with cost engineers in the post of construction project cost.

What is the development prospect of cost engineers in 2023? First-class cost engineers cover a wide range, covering almost the whole project, so overall, the market demand is great. Moreover, although the number of applicants has increased in recent years, the pass rate is not high, which still does not change the current situation of large demand for first-class cost engineers, so the gold content of first-class cost engineers is still high and the development prospects are good.

In 2023, what are the first-level professional subjects of cost engineers? It is divided into four professional categories: civil engineering, traffic engineering, water conservancy engineering and installation engineering. Candidates can choose one of them according to the actual work needs.

1, civil buildings

Civil engineering major is mainly responsible for cost budget, project settlement, cost monitoring, project change visa, etc. 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 major is relatively small, not as good as civil engineering. In addition, the professional requirements and professional degrees of installation professionals are relatively high, so generally speaking, there are not many candidates who apply for the installation major of cost engineers.

3. Water conservancy

Cost engineers, 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.

The work contents of the cost engineer in 2023 include:

1, the cost engineer is responsible for project proposal, investment estimation and audit of feasibility study, project evaluation and cost analysis.

2, the cost engineer is responsible for the construction project design budget, construction budget preparation and audit.

3, the cost engineer is responsible for the construction project bidding documents of quantities and cost preparation and audit.

4. The cost engineer is responsible for the preparation and management of the contract price, settlement price and final settlement price of the construction project.

5, the cost engineer is responsible for the construction project audit, arbitration, litigation, insurance cost appraisal, project cost dispute mediation.

6, the cost engineer is responsible for the construction project valuation basis, cost index preparation and management.

7. The cost engineer is responsible for other matters related to the project cost management.
