May site engr ba dito na introvert talaga? Se ako pero ang hirap i overcome ng pagiging introvert. Hindi siya by choice pero hirap lang talaga ako makipag socialize sa mga tao. Hindi ako yung type ng introvert na ayaw kumausap ng tao at gustong mapagisa, hirap lang tlga ako makipag socialize kahit mga small talks 😂 Paano niyo na overcome sa mga same situation sakin? Uunlad kaya ako kung sakaling worst case di ko maimprove to. Parang ang nangyayari puro technicals lang ambag ko sa site huhu

Hello, engineers!

Anyone here who took or is currently taking their master's degree at UPD po? I was wondering what the schedule is usually like. As far as I know, their classes are usually held on weekdays at night, but how often are they usually scheduled like that (say, once a week and other classes are during weekend?) I'm asking because I work at night po, so I'm really concerned about whether the schedule would be manageable. My other option is Mapua since they offer fully online classes, but I'd still like to consider UP if the schedule isn't that too demanding. I'd really appreciate any input here. Thank you!

PS. I'm also planning on sending an email to their admissions office, but I wanted to check for firsthand insights here first so I know what to expect.

Hello po, engineers! Ano po mga need kong aralin if I’m applying for a site engineer position? Sabi naman po ng owner, iti-train po ako and tagacheck po ng site progress ang main work, pero gusto ko na po mag-advance ngayon. Newly board passer po ako and no experience pa.

Hello po! Parant lang po early morning thoughts🥲

I'm a newly licensed CE and I'm currently searching for jobs. Target ko po talaga maging site engineer kase ewan naeenjoy ko po talaga magsite. Ang fulfilling kaseng mawitness na nabubuo in real life yung nakikita mo lang sa papel. Tapos kapag nabuild successfully yung project parang may ambag ka sa society ganon HAHAHA.

Sadly, I think igigive up ko na yung plano kong maging site engineer kase grabe maglowball mga local companies dito samin. May narinig rin akong almost 5 years na nagsisite pero around 20-25k parin ang monthly nila. Nakakadismaya lang na overworked na nga underpaid pa. I'm questioning talaga why I chose CE 😭 Mas scam pa sa scammers. Except kung mag aabroad lol.

It’s my 1 and a half month sa first job ko. Mon-Fri, working 10hrs a day kasi compressed. Sa isat kalahating buwan ko, makaka-8 SURPRISE OT na ako. Sasabihin lang pag uwian na. Also, our tasks are very REACTIVE, laging urgent kuno and always sa hapon nabibigay yung tasks kung kailan malapit na maguwian. Pinaka late na time-out ko is beyond 12AM. Btw its an office engr work.

I don’t know if most construction companies are like this? Or just because of my boss? Kasi department lang namin laging surprise OT sa company. Bayad nga OT but sometimes I have prior commitments na nasisira and I choose rest over OT pay. Planning to quit if magcontinue pa yung work culture na ganito. Need tips. TYIA

I'm an upcoming grade 12, and I'm wondering how people prepare for college, like what to study, what to expect, etc, etc. I just want to prepare early so I don't regret it in the future

My kuya, who took ABM strand during SHS, is currently a first-year Civil Engineering student. From the start, he has never really been confident in Math. He has been attending orientations at his university, and some professors have already started teaching concepts. My concern is that he is already thinking about shifting courses because he finds the concepts difficult to understand (like algebra). He feels that if he does not understand the basics, he will struggle even more with the harder topics later on. I advised him to get tutoring for the basic knowledge he needs, but are there any other pieces of advice I can give him?

May existing na bahay na si client. Gusto niya ipa-demolish at magtayo ng bago. Dun kami nagbase ng measurements for the initial planning habang hinahanap pa nila ang copy ng lot plan ng property. Namisplace daw years back.

Fast forward, may mga napag-usapan na kami na planned areas and spaces. And since nagbase naman ako sa existing house, confident ako na minimal revisions lang sa mga sukat. Kahapon nahanap na nila ang copy ng lot plan. Nung nilapat ko sa floor plan, it turns out na nasakop ng existing house nila ang portions ng supposed to be barangay road. Pero ang road gutters ay nasa labas ng “bahay/building” nila.

Agad-agad ko naman sinabi sa kanila ang nalaman ko. Since matagal na sila sa area and decades na din nag-eexist ang bahay, hindi sila ganun ka affected at ang bilin lang sakin ay ipagpatuloy ang initial plans. I cannot edit the plans to fit within the boundaries since maliit lang ang matitira sa lote after considering setbacks.

Alam ko na mali ang magtayo sa labas ng boundaries ng lote nila. Pero mapilit talaga si client even with my explanation. They’re confident na wala nang mangyayaring road widening since nagtanong na sila initially sa municipal engineer. If you’re in my position, how would you deal with this? And in case I proceed with the project, ano ang possible legal problems sa part ko in the future, if any? I’ll be the project manager once nagstart ang construction. I’m currently working with a young architect na hindi pa ganun ka-experienced with real world situations like this.

Hello po! Ano po usually tanong sa final interview sa Acciona? Graduate Engineer po position huhuhu really want the job po

Hello. I’m a recent passer ng CELE. Please help me kung san ba mas maganda magwork as a first timer, kung sa construction company ba or government. I’m currently living here sa Quezon City.

Based sa salary offer, mas mataas halos doble yong sahod sa government compared sa private companies. Ang downside, sabi sakin ng mga seniors, wala daw “growth” sa government.

Honest thought please

Meron na po bang nag accept ng JO ng arcadis? Pano po kayo nakipag negotiate regarding sa salary? For graduate role po? How long does this usually take?
