1)What certificate is important and valuable in construction field that can help increase your value as engineer?

For example

Scaffolding Certificate
Chargeman
Wireman

What else you think?

2)Diploma or Degree in Mech Eng for constructions field.

3)Design section or site supervising? Which can help to rise up faster?

Site Engineer? or Design Engineer?

hi, may i know do civil engineers work under the sun all the time? i am aware that site engineers are required to work under the sun more often on the other hand consultants usually work in the office..my younger sister planning to pursue civil engineering for her degree but my parents are worried this career might not be suitable for ladies as the working environment is undeniably harsh..what do you guys think? if she insists on taking this course what other career options will she have other than working under the sun all day? hope the experienced ones can give some insights on this matter..thank you

if study civil engineering, best place to work is with consulting engineer firm. no need work under sun coz that's not civil engineer duty. civil engineer duty is to design. perhaps u have to attend site meeting once a week for the sake of reporting. and some site walk with client once in a while. and definitely lady is not suitable to work at site in my opinion. site full of man including general worker / foreign worker. they will definitely view it in different way. of course there are still some girl work as architect / engineer at site.

I believe you are in construction company (main con). Best way is learn all the C&S/Archi/M&E trades and work your way up to Project Management.

Just asking randomly.

Either project manager working as client / developer side or for main contractor side.

I am quite interested to move to project management one day.

For point 3,
It is one of the most discussed topic for people who work in construction line.
We usually compare client / developer / consultant and contractor.

In short, we can conclude that.. it is pretty shit when you are not bosses of the company.

But as a employee usually working as client / developer will be more "valuable".

Consultant / contractor can be very subjective.. as long as one is capable and they can be well paid.
As company earning, contractor usually have better margin compare to consultant. But of course contractor always has higher risks. (cash flow problem.. not getting paid, screw up project and lose money)

how about those site which manufactures the materials for the construction. eg concrete or steel. Do the bosses of these production site hire engineers to work for them? if yes, are these jobs lucrative?

You are pretty correct. In this industry your capability and knowledge is your strongest asset.
For the risk mentioned as long as you are in A1 Main Con should not be a big issue.

If you really need soil with high clay content, you may look for it from cement manufacturing companies. Clay is used a lot in cement production and usually these companies have a whole hill to mine clay from.

However, I think they won't layan a request for 3 kg. Perhaps you can email them and try to get them to support you as part of their CSR programme.
