performed. Additionally, a project engineer must ensure that
appropriate personnel are on duty at all required times and that
they carry out their work assignments. A project engineer is
also responsible for recordkeeping and report preparation.
Project engineers spend anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of
their time working "on site". In order to perform their duties
on site, the project engineer must be able to move freely about a
construction site. Such mobility demands considerable walking
and climbing (e.g., up and down ladders and hillsides, into and
out of operating machinery and motor vehicles, on top of building
supplies, and over various obstructions). In addition, "site
work" requires the project engineer to lift heavy objects and to
"walk beams", particularly when bridge construction is involved.
