Dear Friend,

You have not exactly mentioned your profile just mentioning CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT doesn't suffice. You should do your HW before doing all these courses, after doing it is, not the right way to plan your career. ( Read the book GOALS by Brian Tracy which will give you a headstart in planning your goals ). Also, read an article which I have posted in this forum for clarity of goals etc " Plan your life specially created for Civil Engineers - Civil4M

Now considering you have done your BE, Civil and now you have enhanced your qualification by doing a Masters in Construction Technology Management.

First and foremost you have to be very clear what you want to become in life since you have considered a Civil Engineering profession, then first decide which stream of specialization you want to get into have listed down some for your information.

  1. Construction Engineering : Deals with planning, construction, and maintenance of structures.
  2. Structural Engineering : Deals with Structural Analysis and Design of structures.
  3. Geotechnical Engineering : Study of soil, foundations, bearing capacity, etc.
  4. Transportation Engineering : Deals with planning, construction, and management of transportation facilities.
  5. Surveying : Deals with surveying and leveling of lands using various instruments, mapping & contouring of terrains, etc.
  6. Water resource Engineering : Deals with design and construction of hydraulic structures like dams, canals, water distribution systems, etc.
  7. Environmental Engineering : Study of environment-friendly designs, sewage management, pollution, and their treatment.
  8. Municipal Engineering : Deals with urban/city planning & management, township, etc.
  9. Earthquake Engineering: Study of seismic forces, earth-quake resistant structures, etc.
  10. Material Engineering : Study of Material Strength, properties of materials used in construction, ceramics, etc.
  11. Tunnel Engineering : Deals with planning, design, construction, safety, and maintenance of tunnels.
Since you have done a Construction Technology management so let's talk more on this part of Engineering...

Construction engineering is a professional discipline of civil engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and management of infrastructures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities.

Construction engineering involves planning and execution of the designs from transportation, site development, hydraulic, environmental, structural and geotechnical engineers.

A construction engineer supervises fieldwork in a major infrastructure project. Construction Engineers are unique such that they are a cross between civil engineers and construction managers.

Construction engineers learn the designing aspect much like civil engineers and construction site management functions much like construction managers. Construction Engineer is responsible for directing and planning the construction project and in conducting inspections, engaging in the investigation, overseeing the project, analyzing results and sees that the entire construction process takes place efficiently.

Construction engineers may select the materials used in the construction process, manage construction sites and supervise the implementation of mechanisms, such as hydraulic systems. Construction engineers may alternate between an office and an outdoor work environment.

These professionals may work with contractors, construction workers, and urban designers during a project. They may also be responsible for reviewing project finances and keeping schedules on time.

Major Responsibilities of Construction Engineers :

Construction engineers are problem solvers, they help create an infrastructure that best meets the unique demands of its environment. Construction Engineers should have a strong understanding of math and science, but many other skills are required, including critical and analytical thinking, time management, people management, and good communication skills. Major responsibilities include the following :

  • managing parts of construction projects
  • overseeing building work
  • undertaking surveys
  • setting out sites and organizing facilities
  • checking technical designs and drawings to ensure that they are followed correctly
  • supervising contracted staff
  • ensuring projects meet agreed specifications, budgets or timescales
  • liaising with clients, subcontractors and other professional staff, especially quantity surveyors and the overall project manager
  • providing technical advice and solving problems on-site
  • preparing site reports and filling in other paperwork
  • liaising with quantity surveyors about the ordering and negotiating the price of materials
  • ensuring that health and safety and sustainability policies and legislation are adhered to
Those are some of the many responsibilities handled by Construction Engineers here in India.

In India, the average entry-level salary (0-2 yrs experience) for Construction engineer is Rs 10000-15000.

With 2-4yrs of experience in this field, the expected average salary is Rs 16000 -30000.

For experience of 4-6yrs, the average salary is Rs 40000 -50000

Anything above 7-9 yrs the average salary will range from Rs 60000 upwards.

The salaries mentioned are for professionals working in Mumbai and may vary from region to region.

NOTE: ANY CONSTRUCTION PLANNING OR MANAGEMENT CANNOT COMMENCE WITHOUT THE ENGINEER HIMSELF EXECUTING ATLEAST A SINGLE PROJECT FROM EXCAVATION TO HANDING OVER STAGE.

IF HE EXECUTES THEN ONLY HE WILL COME TO KNOW THE FINER DETAILING WORKS AND THEN HE CAN PLAN OR MANAGE A PROJECT WISELY AND EFFECTIVELY. SO THINK ABOUT IT AND TAKE YOUR DECISIONS ACCORDINGLY.....SO WISH YOU ALL THE BEST................. ;) :D
