Civil Site Engineer Responsibilities

The Following are some important civil site engineer

responsibilities,

1. Interpretation of Drawing

Interpretation of drawing means reading the drawing. The job of

a civil engineer is to analyze the drawing given.

Construction drawings are of different types such

as plan, section, and elevation.
The civil engineer must understand the details given in
the plan and work according to the dimensions given in
the drawing.

Interpretation of Drawings

2. Preparing Bar Bending Schedule

This is a very important sheet that

a civil engineer needs to study as well as make. It
is called BBS sheet in short.

In BBS, how much steel does required, what diameter has to

be, what is its cutting length, how much is its total weight, how is
its bending shape, all such details are given in it?
Civil engineers give the cutting length and its number
and steelworker so they can do the steel cutting and
bend accordingly. BBS also helps in preparing the bill of work.

Bar Bending Schedule

This is the most important Civil Site

Engineer’s Responsibility on Construction Site.
3. Allotting Work to Labors

Allotting Work to Labors

It is also the job of a civil engineer to work on the labor that

is on the site and tell them what work to do and for how long to do
what right material to use.

Labor is very lazy until they are told they work. And if the labor is
not told properly, then it can also cause huge losses, so
the civil engineer needs to stand by and monitor the work.

4. Supervision of Construction Work

Supervision of Work
It is very important to monitor the work that is going on at
the construction site, it is very important for any
civil engineer to check whether the work is going on at the
site, according to
the drawings, which have been done according to what was said.

5. Preparing Schedule of Material Used and Available

Material Schedule
How much material is available on the site, how much material has
come, the details of it should be with the civil engineer.

For such information, the civil engineer makes

the material within which the material is used, and how
much material is left is detailed.

This is the most important Civil Site

Engineer’s Responsibility on Construction Site.
6. Plotting Line – Level on Construction Site

Dumpy Level Use

It is also the responsibility of the civil engineer to

see whether the work done on the side is being done according to
the guided line level.

if friends do anything wrong then repairing the concrete and

the construction is very expensive. For this, checking the
line level is very important.

7. Preparing Work Chart Schedule

It is very important to create a work chart schedule at

any construction site. By reading the work chart schedule.

we can find out how much work has been done and how
much work is yet to be done and we also know
whether the work has been done or not.

We can set Goals by preparing a work chart schedule and

we can work accordingly.
8. Checking Steel Work of Slab, Beam, & Column Before
Concreting

Steel Checking of Slab

It is the responsibility of the civil engineer to check the steel

installed in it before any concrete is done.
For example checking of steel used in the slab, column, beam,
etc.

a civil engineer has to check the details like

the specified diameter of the steel bar used or not, the number of
bars, the spacing of the bar, and whether the proper coverage
is provided to a section or not.
 Construction Equipment

Before starting any concreting, it is necessary to prepare all

the things in advance. Checking whether the machine-like
vibrator used in the concreting is available on the site, if it goes off then
it is a backup must be available for continuous work.

10. Supervision Of The Curing Process

After the completion of concrete work, it is very important to cure it. If

not properly cured, then cracks can be read in the concrete.

Then it becomes the responsibility of

the civil engineer that starts the curing process as soon as concreting
work is completed.

11. Keeping Note of Each and Every Casting Work

 Concrete used in m3
 Formwork Quantity
 Labor used
 Material used
12. Much Other Work

 Preparing Concrete Record.

 Labor Muster
 Preparing and Sending Daily Process Report to Higher Authority
