This document discusses technology and communication concepts in civil engineering. It outlines key topics including identifying current civil engineering issues, proposing innovative solutions, displaying communication techniques, and choosing media ethically. The document notes civil engineering disciplines like transportation, water resources, surveying, construction, and structural/geotechnical engineering. Example job descriptions are provided for construction managers, engineers, supervisors, and risk managers, outlining their responsibilities in planning, budgeting, communication, health and safety, and using technology like software and mobile devices.

13. EXAMPLE JOBDESCRIPTION

14. Construction Manager
The construction manager is responsible for overseeing the entirety of the project
from start to finish. They may individually manage a project, or work with other
construction managers depending on the scale of the project and its
complexities. They are responsible for planning, budgeting, and overseeing
progress. During the planning process they must decide what materials to be
used, how to schedule employees, and create a schedule for the project. They
must keep constant communication with all others on the project as well as the
client. They are on-call at all times because it is their responsibility if something
on the project goes wrong at any point. Due to the variety of job duties included in
being a construction manager, many find benefits in the implementation of cloud-
based software to aid them in their planning, implementation, and communication
from start to finish.

15. Engineer
Engineers are very important on a jobsite and may specialize in building,
electrical, mechanical, highway or heavy. Engineers use computer
software technology to create plans for their projects and travel to jobsites
to oversee their implementation. They meet regularly with others on the
team to ensure that their plans can be executed.

16. Supervisor
The job supervisor acts as an intermediary between the field workers and the
management office to ensure effective communication. Many supervisors
benefit from the use of communication technology on their mobile devices that
allow them to streamline this constant communication. Aside from this, they
are responsible for any problems or conflicts that may arise between the field
and the office.

17. Risk
Manager
Health & safety is very important onsite; therefore, as a Risk Manager, you are
required to monitor the risks on-site and work out how they can be avoided. You will
implement risk management strategies and communicate them throughout the work
to protect the employees, the customer and the public. They need to have a good
knowledge of legal requirements, potential costs, risk assessments and reporting
their findings.
