SAMPLE CDR CIVIL ENGINEER

Career Episode -1
Company : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Task : Civil Engineer
Period : July 2000 – March 2002
XXX is one of the ten largest and most successful architectural and engineering consultants in EGYPT. The head office is in Abu Dhabi, UAE and it has branches in Cairo, Alexandria, Al Ain, Dubai and Berlin. APG, Architectural and Planning Group, with combined offices operating internationally can call upon over 400 ( four hundred ) professional staff to service any project worldwide. Architectural and Planning Group are able to offer the full complement of comprehensive services such as architecture design, engineering design, urban planning design, landscape design, quality management, interior design, on-site inspection, on-site design liaison and maintenance inspections. In this career episode, I am detailing my work with the above company.
1.1 I was a fresh engineering graduate at the time of joining XXX. I had already completed the 4 year full-time course in Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. The first year of the course includes some papers in Mathematics, and also provides a basic knowledge of physical sciences underpinning Engineering. It also provides an overview of other disciplines of Engineering. The later years concentrate more particularly on the various aspects of Civil Engineering. I joined the above company in 2000. Initially there was a training period of two months . On the completion of my training period, which was my probation period as well, I was given the post of Civil Engineer and joined the company as a permanent employee.

1.2 As trainee engineer (July 2000 to September 2000) I got training as a site engineer. Initially I was responsible for supervising the contractor’s work for a small villa. I was reporting to a project engineer who was providing me with the necessary training and guidance.

1.3 During my tenure with the above organization as a Civil Engineer, I was responsible for planning, organizing and overseeing the construction and maintenance of various structures such as villa complexes, various building projects and renovation of different structures throughout Egypt. I also did the structural design for a group housing project, during my tenure with the above organization.

1.4 My work mainly involved the following:

• The overall supervision and execution of works.
• Review and approval of shop drawings.
• Conceive, transfer and execute variation to designs, scopes and standard work methods.
• Preparing progress spread sheets, and updating MS Project schedules.
• Project progress monitoring and submitting periodic reports to Project Manager on a weekly and
• Implementing and monitoring QA/QC and safety procedures.
1.5 I am detailing below my work involving a villa complex in Alexandria, Egypt, consisting of 24 villas, with a project value of approximately 29 million Egyptian Pounds.

1.6 I had an initial discussion with the client so as to determine project requirements. Then I established and monitored the construction work schedule.

1.7 On the site, I was responsible for supervision of site and maintaining a field diary to make notes of the site activities. I conducted site meetings to discuss important issues to be taken into consideration. I ensured that the quality of work at the site was in compliance with the contract requirements that only approved materials are used in compliance with shop drawings and specifications. I used to liaise with the government authorities regarding the work execution, and follow up on approval.

1.8 I was also responsible of Reviewing the contractor’s transmittals for site activities. After the completion of the structural work, I was responsible for all the finishing work, especially the doors, windows, balcony, aluminum and stainless steel work such as cladding, flashing, soffit, reynobond panels, gutters, etc.

1.9 I always follow the concept of value engineering, which involves providing necessary functions at lowest cost, and the identification and elimination of unnecessary costs.

1.10 I used to submit detailed feasibility report for all projects. All the documentation work used to be prepared in MS-OFFICE, and I achieved an excellent working knowledge in MS-OFFICE.

1.11 As mentioned above, I have also done the structural designing of a group housing project. I had undergone a course in the structural analysis and design package, SAP 2000, earlier in the year and I was able to put it into practice. I developed a framing plan with approximate sizes of beams and columns. After drafting the framing plan, I discussed about the architectural views with the concerned architect. I then started modelling the skeletal structure with the sizes and dimensions as per architectural drawings. For the foundation of the structures, I designed a raft foundation using finite element method of designing. The model was created in space as per the design specifications.

1.12 The loading calculation is also an important part for analysis and design. Every structure is subject to different loading. After completing the modelling part , I started the loading calculations for the structure. Along with dead and live loads, seismic loads also play a significant role. Though those loads depend on geography and location of the structure , design is always done on worst load combination. In some case, earthquake load pre-dominates, and in others, wind load. The project on hand

was in earthquake prone zone and it was a concrete structure, so earthquake loads and their combinations were the critical loads to be considered in the analysis and design.

1.13 After entering the loading data in the computer, the final step is the design criteria. In this step, information regarding design code, type of reinforcement, concrete strength, whether earthquake reinforcement is required or not, have to be entered in the system. Once all the required data is fed, SAP 2000 does the analysis of the structures and the results are given.

1.14 After completion of the programmed run, the beams and columns are checked for safety. If some members do not meet the safety criteria, I have to find out the reasons for this and make amendments accordingly. Then checking of bending moments, shear forces, and deflections for the whole structure and individual members are done.

1.15 After applying all the above mentioned checks, the design results are then transferred to the draftsmen for preparation of detailed drawings. During the whole of the design process, I ensure that proper documentation is done.

1.16 I am very particular that all my work is professional and ethical.

1.17 During my tenure with Architectural and Planning Group (XXX), Cairo, Egypt, I got a lot of practical experience regarding design of structures, site supervision and coordination. I also became familiar with various materials used such as : aluminum extrusions, aluminum alloy sheet , mild steel sections & sheet , stainless steel sheet , waterproofing membrane, various types of sealants, rockwool insulations, etc. Working with this company has taught me the practical aspects of Civil Engineering, and I have been able to successfully apply my theoretical knowledge in the work place.

4G62BT · November 2013

newbie po ako mga sir at mam... balak ko po kasi mag ielts at magpa asses sa EA next year. ME po ako at nkapagtrabahaho ng 5 years sa Pinas (obligation from scholarship).. Nandito po ako sa Japan ngayon nagtatrabaho. Dito na rin ako magtake ng ielts. Tanong ko lang po sana kung ung mga documents na required para sa EA kelangan ba dito ipanotarize or pwede sa pinas? Nasa 6k pesos daw ang notarize dito per document which is masyadong mahal kumapara sa sa pinas. Ang plano ko po sana is sa pinas lahat documents tapos doon na ipadala papunta sa EA. Pwede po ba un or kelangan dito lahat manggaling?

Hingi na rin ako ng tulong sa paggawa ng CDR ko. Balak ko na kasi umpisahang gawin.. Baka pwede po makahingi ng sample CDR ng ME.. ito po email address ko [email protected]

Maraming salamat po..

lock_code2004 · November 2013

@4G62BT - pwede sa pinas.. same case for me, i was working abroad at mahal din mag pa ctc.. so pinadala ko sa pinas lahat ng docs ko for ctc.

4G62BT · November 2013

pero nung pinadala nyo ung docs to EA san ito galing? sa pinas din? or pndala pblik sa inyo? kasi dba ung reply nla is thru mail?

btarroja213 · November 2013

@btarroja213 Job title is Senior Supplier Quality Engineer, job responsibilities like supplier management, supplier quality audit, ownership of supplier quality issues, continuous improvement in product and process quality, etc.

Hi, i am not sure kung saan mag fall ang supplier quality. But for process quality, i think pwede sya sa Production or Manufacturing engineer.

Depende kasi sa mga JD kung ano pwede nominated occupation.

Sa case ko, although mostly Test Engineering and Product Engineering ang mga JD, meron din naman nakalagay na manufacturing support and subcon mangment. Yung career episodes ko are those that basically show na qualified ako as production engineer.

lock_code2004 · November 2013

pero nung pinadala nyo ung docs to EA san ito galing? sa pinas din? or pndala pblik sa inyo? kasi dba ung reply nla is thru mail?

meron kasi akong friend na nagvacation sa pinas, so pinadala ko sa kanya for ctc, and dinala din nya pagbalik... so sa akin pa rin nanggaling (overseas) bago ko pinadala ko sa EA..

it's your choice, pwede nmn sa pinas manggaling, tapos ang result padala mo sa yo kung nasan ka man.. i think may separate section yan sa EA form.. pls double check..

a) since you are an IE.. pwede naman siguro under IE code... if you read the ANZSCO job description for unit code ME/IE/Prod Plant Engineer :

"establishing standards and policies for installation, modification, quality control, testing, inspection and maintenance according to engineering principles and safety regulations"

ang concern lang, kung kulang ka ng points and will require SS for additional 5 pts, wala ang IE sa mga state sponsorship list.. pero ang Prod/plant engr eh nasa WA.. so kung kulang ka ng points mas okay kung sa Prod/Plant engr ka magpa-assess..

b) or you can look at the Quality Assurance Manager/Facilitator code for Vetassess..

4G62BT · November 2013

@lock_code2004 thank you sir

cvetu2004 · November 2013

Thanks po sa feedback nyo. I will check and find out.

cvetu2004 · November 2013

@lock_code2004 even if my current work is not a manager, ask ko lng if im qualified for quality assurance manager? Job descriptions are closely matched to my occupations so im considering this options. If im assessed naman on this occupation (qa manager), pwede naman ako mag apply ng engineering jobs related to my experiences. Is that possible po?

drei12 · November 2013

hello po, s CDR ba dapat per career episode eh ung work n at least 12 mos?

btarroja213 · November 2013

hello po, s CDR ba dapat per career episode eh ung work n at least 12 mos?

Sa pagka intindi ko, dapat po you have to be emloyed by that particular company for at least 12 months in order for that experience to be credited when you claim work experience points.

A career episode can be a narative of your job functions or a project/problem solving you were involved in. So if you are describing a project or a problem for a CE, any number of days is acceptable.

I am not sure if a CE from a company which you have less than 12 months employment can be used. Maybe you can ask EA or somebody else can answer.

drei12 · November 2013

@btarroja213, CE? for cert of employments, ang issubmit lng ba eh ung ns CDR. kc c hubby dmi nya work pero mostly less than 1 yr.

joestrummer · November 2013

@drei12,

Well you can put that on the CDR but skilled employment experience will still be based on the proven skilled employment record and those two are different.

If you are targeting to acquire a certain "number of years experience", then all Certificate of Employments amounting to that "years" should be submitted, it doesn't matter if it is on the CDR Career Episodes or not.

Hope this helps.

btarroja213 · November 2013

@btarroja213, CE? for cert of employments, ang issubmit lng ba eh ung ns CDR. kc c hubby dmi nya work pero mostly less than 1 yr.

Sorry about that...

CE = Career Episode. You can email EA to ask about your husband's case. Sabi kasi sa akin dati ng friend ko exclude ko sa CDR ang companies na less than 1 year ako employed.

Although ang requirement ng EA is stated as:

Certified documentary evidence of employment [must be provided if you have relevant work experience of 12 months or more, or if the work experience provides a basis of a career episode(s)].

So I guess you can claim work experience months for employment of less than 12 months....

DMAU2012 · November 2013

@btarroja213, CE? for cert of employments, ang issubmit lng ba eh ung ns CDR. kc c hubby dmi nya work pero mostly less than 1 yr.

Hi,

Based sa experience ko Qualification Officer ng Engineers Australia:
1. If basis sya ng Career Episode dapat i provide mo yung Certicate of employment.
2. Kahit na less than a year ang work experiences you must include these on your Curriculum vitae, para hindi na sila mag tanong during assessment. Don sa mga significant period na pwedeng ma omit if hindi mo iinclude sa CV mo.
