Construction Site Management

Civil engineers plan and construct bridges, buildings, roads, sewage treatment plants and much more. After the planning phase, these construction projects must be realised on the construction site in terms of quality, adherence to deadlines and costs. In the Construction Management specialisation, you will acquire the qualities of a project manager. Leading construction projects to success is your responsibility. However, complex construction processes cannot be managed solely from your desk. As a project manager, you also need to be present on site.
The Construction Management specialisation at FH Aachen offers you numerous construction site visits and subject-specific excursions in Germany and abroad, thus providing you with the indispensable practical relevance.

Planning of buildings and coordination of construction processes | The environment used and designed by people is characterised by buildings that serve living, working, leisure, mobility or other purposes. All buildings are accompanied from the idea to completion by engineers in structural engineering and construction management and are designed, dimensioned, planned ready for execution, calculated and finally constructed. The activities are characterised by the creative and economical handling of structures and materials as well as a high level of confidence in the coordination of construction processes.

Every construction project can only be realised with the help of a civil engineer with solid knowledge of construction operations. There are therefore many areas of application for civil engineers. The classic employers include

• Construction companies (site management in building construction, civil engineering and civil engineering)
• In the public sector (tendering, awarding of construction contracts and construction operations)
• In architectural or engineering offices (construction management, acquisition)
• Real estate companies
• Insurance companies

As a civil engineer with an area of specialisation in construction management, you will have the opportunity to find a job that suits your interests.
