Qualification certificates of the project manager
Thread Content
For current large and medium-sized projects, whether funded by state-owned capital or private capital, project managers of general contractors, specialized contractors, and subcontractors all need to hold the appropriate qualification certificates. Question: 1. Must all the qualification certificates for project managers be first-class (or second-class) constructor certificates? 2. For projects under the general contract of a design institute, can the project manager use a qualification certificate from the main design specialty as a substitute? For example: chemical processing plants – registered process engineers; environmental protection projects – registered environmental engineers. 3. Is there corresponding documentation to support the substitution of the main specialty? @Fish in the desert
In the construction industry, there are first-class (or second-class) constructor certificates; holding such a certificate does not necessarily mean one can serve as a project manager, but project managers must hold a first-class (or second-class) constructor certificate.
Project managers must hold a First-Class or Second-Class Construction Engineer certificate
I’ve seen that some tender documents require the project manager to hold a qualification as a registered chemical engineer, or a first-class registered construction engineer certificate, or a PMP project management certificate. Does it mean that being a registered chemical engineer or a PMP project manager is equivalent to being a first-class registered construction engineer?
A PMP project manager is not equivalent to a first-level registered constructor
Yes, PMP is a globally recognized \"professional certification for project management expertise\". For foreign-funded projects, joint ventures in the domestic market, as well as certain export-oriented and internationalized corporate projects, project managers with PMP certification are given priority.
That’s impossible; just registering as a chemical engineer and having it recorded at the local quality supervision office isn’t enough to get approval
That’s the problem. Article 8 of the document \"Several Opinions on Further Promoting the Development of EPC\" (Jian Shi [2016] No. 93) reiterates explicitly: (VIII) The basic requirements for project managers of EPC projects. The project manager for general contracting of construction projects should hold a registered professional qualification in the field of construction or a senior professional technical title. They should have previously served as a project manager for general contracting, a project leader for design work, or a construction project manager. They must be familiar with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards applicable to construction projects, and they should also possess relevant experience in such projects. There are clear regulations in place – why then doesn’t the quality supervision station agree?
] Registered professional qualifications in engineering construction refer to full-time personnel who hold professional qualification certificates in engineering construction issued by the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Personnel, and are registered with their respective organizations. Such as: Registered Supervision Engineer, Registered Cost Engineer, First-Class Registered Architect, First-Class Registered Constructor, First-Class Registered Structural Engineer, Registered Urban Planner, Registered Consulting Engineer (Investment), Registered Civil Engineer, Registered Electrical Engineer, Registered Public Equipment Engineer, Registered Structural Engineer, or other registered engineering professionals in the field of surveying and design.
The project manager for general contracting of engineering projects should hold a registered professional qualification in the field of engineering construction or a senior professional technical title. The key point is that such qualifications can be issued by other departments, while those in the field of engineering construction are awarded by the Ministry of Construction itself; there’s no need to go into further detail on this
