Project Engineer Construction: 10 Things You'll Go Through As A Project Engineer in Construction

Add #11 Need to have tough skin. I worked in construction for 13 yrs as a subcontractor and boy it gets tough when Someone messes up or you have to explain that a deadline can't realistically be met based on unrealistic expectations. Lol

Thanks for this! I'm a fresh graduate and newly licensed civil engineer and I'm trying to apply for a project engineer position. This video helped me broaden my perspective of this profession and made me want to pursue it even more.

Hey man, I’m really enjoying your videos. Any tips for how to better prepare myself for a job as a field coordinator?

Am a female been in d construction industry for 10 yrs on on d field. Everything u said is correct. Young engineer listen up.

Doing this work in Hawaii looks amazing. Definitely inspiring!!

I graduated as industrial engineer and currently working in a contracting company kinda far from my engineering major. But have u ever knew someone who is industrial engineer as well in the same position as u?

what is the difference b/n site eng. & project engineer?

Great video! Doing my internship now and this is very insightful

This made me laugh out loud at times. I'm in the UK and this is the exact same. Fixers just wanting to cut everything out 🤣 and people making decisions like "ah we will just leave the miss matching skirting" so true and sometimes frustrating!

Hi,
I'm starting as an entry-level project engineer by late of June 2022, and I wanted some advice in preparation for the role. Is there a skill or program you know will be a major part of the job that I can brush up on or review; and if there’s a website or other resources you’d recommend I review? I do appreciate your advice in preparation for my new role as a Project Engineer. Thank you!

Bravo! Well done Kienen.

You described it perfectly! I’m a project engineer as well. Aloha from Oregon.

I'm new to the Channel & subscribed right away, as always great advise!! and keep up the great work!!- someday hopefully i get to meet you- Bubba !

Im a project engineer from india. Everything you said is absolutely true. Some made me giggle especially the lying part so accurate. Haha.

Work life balance is horrible I'd assume.

You are going to be a very successful developer soon .

Im a PE right now and my probation is about to end. What should I ask for salary wise? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing it!

What made you decide to go into commercial and not heavy civil? Is it possible if you can make a video on the pros and cons of working in commerical vs heavy civil?

is a project engineer the same as a construction manager?

It’s really true i’m also working as a site engineer and I’m doing Facade work.
I’m facing these all 10.😅

I was promoted to project engineer from dump truck driver. It’s been hard the first 3 months. The only foundation I’ve had to build on is my experience in the field. It’s really rewarding but I’m confused literally everyday.

Hello Engineer, I'm a fresh graduate in Civil Engineering and hoping to pursue construction. I'm glad I found you. More construction content please!!! More power to you.

That was very articulate and natural....wonder if you use a script or you just can speak without any breaks?

Hey! Just finished my internship in a big spanish construction company and signed with them to move to the Phillipines for a big project and could not be more excited! Love to see a channel where there is someone who talks about the career!

Did you ever obtain EIT?

I'm using this channel to understand more about my fiance's work. Thank you.

THANK YOU! I think im going to love to industry, I get bored quickly & I think construction might be for me. Hopefully, I can get an internship soon!

Did you do any internships after you graduated? Or just during school

Do you have a master degree in construction management?

Whats the difference between construction engineering and construction/project management?

Great video. Watching from the Philippines. I am now a Field Engineer and hoping to level up my career to Project Engineer.

I started to feel like the lacking experience of staying outside for the past years started to affect my career now. 😂

Hey so I want to become is this part of civil engineering.

I was love project inginering but now🤢

My e.n.g is not good😂

I started as a design engineer at a consultancy firm, got assigned as the project engineer for a project and I can relate to almost everything.
I'm still trying to get used to No. 7, many hard lessons learnt 😂😂

Hello sir,
I'm a MEP engineer.
May i get your whatsapp number?

Lmaoo! I absolutely love your channel man😂😂 you should just tell all your wild construction stores, I can completely relate

I'm a fresh graduate and currently looking for a job in the industry. Is it normal for me to really have no clue on what to do in the construction industry. I have been an intern at a big company here, but as far as being a regular employee, I feel like i'm so clueless. Is this normal for every fresh graduate? Thank you!

The video is great I love it,so i have a question and it goes is what is the difference between studying Civil engineering and Building and construction technology

Hi! I just came across your channel and I enjoyed this video. I'm from the Philippines and just graduated in civil engineering. Really appreciate this content of what I'm about to experience once I passed the licensure examination this coming May! My major is structural engineering btw. I learned a lot from this video.Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I am a Project Engineer with a large GC out of Minneapolis. Love hearing other's experiences.

I just got a job as a project engineer at a contracting company. Although I am a graduating electrical engineer, I see that it is mainly focused more towards civil engineers. Do you think I would have a harder time than a civil engineer since I am focused on electrical engineering? I do work side jobs with my dad who is an electrician, I do know the ins and outs of what goes on in the field, so I'm hoping this will give me a step up than the green graduates.

Hey Kienen, this is my first time watching your channel. This video was very useful video for me. Thank you for producing that. Besides, I am in college for CE and I just received my first internship offer as project engineer. I am very excited about it. As a project engineer, what subjects and topics you learned in college are the most important for your daily work? Keep it up!

I major in civil engineering but most of my electives were towards water engineering and transportation. Now that I'm graduating spring 2021 I am still unsure of which principle to get into and was thinking that maybe the reason why is because I wanted to pursue a career in project management/engineering. Can I still do so even if I had more focus on water and transportation rather than structural?

hello thank you very much for this video,now i am sure to do my spécialisation i mean my master in construction engineering and projet management. Nice vidéo

Are you guys hiring?

What did you go to school for?
