I. Extensive knowledge
The construction project itself is very complicated, and the environment and background are different. The services of engineering consulting companies are also very extensive, and the consulting engineers who need to engage in this industry have a wide range of knowledge. Therefore, consulting engineers should not only master the professional and technical knowledge of construction projects, but also be familiar with the knowledge of economy, management, finance and law related to engineering construction. Consulting engineers should also have a deep understanding of the management process of engineering construction and be familiar with the specific operations and relevant regulations of project financing, equipment procurement and bidding consultation.
Second, skilled business ability.
It is impossible for a consulting engineer to engage in all the business of his own company, but as a qualified consulting project, he must have one or more business fields that he is good at and become an expert in this field. The basic requirement for proficiency in business is practical ability. Many works in engineering consulting business need practical operation, such as process design, project financial evaluation, technical and economic analysis, etc. This not only needs to be done well, but also needs to be done right, well and quickly. Secondly, we need to have rich experience in engineering practice. Only through the accumulation of practical experience can we constantly improve our professional level and proficiency, sum up experience, find out the rules and accumulate for future work. In addition, in the contemporary social environment, computer and foreign languages have become two necessary work skills, and as a consulting engineer, this profession also needs to have the level and ability of these two aspects.
Third, strong coordination and management skills.
Many jobs in engineering consulting business do not need consulting engineers to complete directly, but need to organize or manage others to complete. This not only involves the collaborative work of all personnel in the company, but also requires frequent contact with customers and various departments or financial institutions involved in construction projects to deal with various specific problems. In this case, what is needed is not some professional technology and theoretical knowledge, but the ability of organization, coordination and management. Therefore, consulting engineers need to be not only technical experts, but also organizational and management experts.
