While in duty of supervision of building, you should ensure that the concrete mixing is according to the grade specified. While supervision of road, you should ensure that the different layers of the road are laid in proper thickness.

Site engineer should determine,

* SAFE BEARING CAPACITY of the soil to check whether the soil is capable of with standing the loads given by the super structures.


* In case of construction of underpasses, deep excavations are necessary, for that a deep study of the site has to be done.
presence of soft rocks underneath will affect the stability, inturn turning down the project.


* In case the site is chosen for tunnel project extra care should be taken to see whether hard rocks are present, it will provide good stability but if soft rocks are present the rocks will collapse from the crown during excavation.


* The lives of many people are in the hands of a civil engineer, so he should be serious and responsible enough to build the structures with respect to the soil conditions.


* It is the duty of the civil eng. to satisfy the comforts of the people. :)

i think the duties of site engineer in construction work is that the all work should be done according to the detailed drawing & planning specified by consultant organisation
as a site engineer in road work is that whole work including sub-grade,sub-base,base,top most layer should be executed according to the detailed specifications & drawing

There are two types of site civil engineer , first job is a supervisory one if he works with the consultant, in this case he needs to make sure that the document in hand is the correct designed and issued for construction , then he will supervise the construction contractor to make sure that work is being carried out as designed and in accordance to standards.

The second type , is the execution part where he works with the construction contractor, in this case he has more responsibilities, where he has to adhere to the design document, quality of work, the schedule, safety of the people, costs and more over to satisfy the consultant at a personal level

The roles and responsibilities of a civil site engineer is that first they should go through the site conditions and well verification of drawing before execution of work at site. they should check out the quantity and quality of works according to the specifications mention for the project.

In civil engineering field each and every activities has its new techniques and new for all so each work should be taken in a critical way and should be completed within the specified time limit as per specifications.

Site engineers perform a technical, organisational and supervisory role on construction projects, setting out and determining the location for above and underground infrastructural installations involved in construction operations.
Site engineers apply designs and plans to mark out the site and can be involved in projects ranging from small scale to multi-million pound ventures. This may include civil, road, rail and other infrastructure projects.
A site engineer works as part of the site management team liaising with and working alongside architects, engineers, construction managers, supervisors, planners, surveyors and subcontractors. They share responsibility for site security, health and safety, and the organisation and supervision of material and human resources.

Actually sub-engineer is more responsible for work because he involved direct in field site only so, first of all, study about drawing, specification and site condition then any variation in complete project if found any changes you say authorized office or relative engineer OK. Work is started after fully execution then,
1) Quality control, proportion of ration between used materials
2) Investigation
3) Sampling
4) Testing properly adopted.
5) Relation with staff, labor, relevant person.

As a site engineer, first read the specification, general notes, drawings, for the building. first check the bearing capacity, soil testing for the preparation of sub-structures go to super-structures. For me before they start to work i discuss the drawing to civil supervisor, foreman how to make proper procedures of the work and monitor if they follow as per drawings. For the roads, number one soil testing before you proceed the next activity.

A civil engineer engages in many general responsibilities on a daily basis. These responsibilities are a crucial part of their job and enable the civil engineer to engage in their profession to the best of their ability. One general responsibility of the civil engineer is to analyze various factors concerning a construction job. The civil engineer will analyze the proposed site location as well as the entire construction job which is to be completed at such a site. They will analyze the process for completing the construction job every step of the way.
The civil engineer must also plan the construction project that will be taking place in conjunction with the results they found due to their analysis of the proposed project. During the process and at the end, the civil engineer must inspect the product to ensure that all rules, regulations and guidelines have been explicitly followed.

Site Engineers are not suppose to determine the safe bearing capacity of soil, because the site engineer only can cross check the designed drawings given by a Design engineer & its the Design Engineers responsibility to determine & analyzing the soil strata of the proposed site & should design as per the factor / conditions. Site Engineer is only responsible for project execution at proposes site as per issued drawings given by the consultant/Designer.
