Resident engineers play a key role decisive of construction project success. What are the abilities that make a successful resident engineer? Seeing the lack of related research in the present, this study attempts to discuss about the capabilities required for resident engineers by giving 1,000 questionnaires. Excluding invalid questionnaires, totally 298 questionnaires were return with a valid return rate of 29.8％. This study found:
1. After the analysis of experiences of resident engineers in this study, it is found that most of them have worked for less than 10 years with an average of 8.64 years of experiences. Most of them became resident engineers within three to five years after they had joined the construction industry. It took them 4.41 years in average to be promoted to this position. Meanwhile, most of them started with working as construction site inspectors. Generally, one needs to experience 2.61 complete cases in average with each case lasting for one to two years before he can become a resident engineer.
2.After the factor analysis of the four aspects of resident engineer capabilities, it is found the “Ability of Planning and Responding” is the most important with the highest average ranking score of 6.38. Among the factors that can make a successful resident engineer, most interviewees regarded “Moral Integrity” as the most important (with an average score of 6.65), followed by “Ability of Communication and Problem-solving” (6.54). In addition, 47% of the interviewees found “Pressure Resilience” is what the latest generation of construction site inspectors lack the most.
3. After the factor analysis of the three aspects of use of professional courses, it is found courses regarding “Construction and Management Abilities” are the most frequently used and the most important aspect for the interviewees when they serve as resident engineers. In addition, courses regarding “Construction Management (Quality Control, Progress, Costs and Security Management)” are frequently used and what should be reinforced in school education.
