Basic Knowledge for site engineers should be 1. Reading Construction Drawings – Interpreting plans, sections, elevations, and details. 2. Surveying & Leveling – Using total station, theodolite, GPS, or auto level. 3. Concrete Technology – Mix design, curing, slump test, setting time. 4. Construction Materials – Properties and uses of steel, cement, aggregates, etc. 5. Quantity Estimation – Calculating materials, labor, and time requirements. 6. Site Layout and Planning – Marking foundation lines, structures, utilities. 7. Health & Safety Standards – Site safety practices, PPE, hazard identification. 8. Quality Control & Testing – Concrete cube tests, sieve analysis, compaction testing. 9. Construction Methods – Earthworks, formwork, reinforcement, concreting, masonry, etc. 10. Project Coordination – Communicating with contractors, consultants, and suppliers. 11. Basic AutoCAD / Revit / Civil 3D – For plan review and simple edits. 12. Site Documentation – Daily reports, material logs, progress tracking. 13. Codes & Standards – Local building codes, ASTM, ACI, EBCS or Eurocodes. 14. Problem Solving – Handling unexpected issues on-site quickly and effectively. 15. Time Management – Prioritizing tasks to meet project deadlines.
