off topic: what are some incentives and perks I should consider when it comes to negotiating my contract as a super/pm? I don't want to be a greenhorn in this aspect of the field when I enter in.
I petitioned to have a field engineer on my last opportunity, and the company flat out told me NO. They didn't see value in a field engineer. The field operation was a mess when I came into the project and whenever I was absent on site.
I assume your company didn't hire a project engineer as well instead only a project manager? assuming things are done on a much smaller scale at your company. @@bosseurinc.
@ChristTompkins sorry my comment was for the general video not a response to yours. But to respond to your comment, no. The company just don't have an understanding of a field engineer and the value that a field engineer brings.
Now to respond to your comment about negotiation, it's all about your experience in a specific market with a specific kinda of construction project. A super that specializes in building a specific kinda product and has done it repeatitively will have more value for employers and investors in his market. So find the market you enjoy building and become an expert in building projects in that market.
what is my career trajectory of becoming field engineer? for higher level roles do I need a mba ? i currently am a entry level field engineer with mechanical engineering
