The ISU is the chief engineer of the project. Job description
Modern realities allow the customer to chooseany project organization that is suitable for all parameters, in terms of time, price and quality of services provided. The main engineer still plays an important role in creating the project for construction. Decoding of the abbreviation of the ISU is the chief engineer of the project. The official duties of such a specialist include not only providing a signature on the project documentation for compliance with specific regulatory documents in the construction industry, but also a wide range of responsibilities.
In the broadest sense, the ISU is a specialist withhigher construction education, certain work experience, periodic training courses, excellent organizational skills. The quality of the project will depend on the flexibility of the mind and the experience of such a specialist. The chief engineer must offer new and original ideas that can meet all the needs of the customer, with minimal costs.
Myths about the position of the ISU
Many customers are still fully confident,that the ISU is a person who is fully responsible for the quality of all documentation. In fact, earlier such a specialist took personal decisions and carried responsibility for their consequences. However, to date, such a person is just the project manager. The main functional duty of an official is to ensure a dynamic flow of investment and return on financial investments. Simply put, a person looks at the whole project from an economic point of view, optimizing the processes that will allow you to get more income with minimal investment. Decisions of a technical nature are made by other project participants, naturally, with an agreement with the ISU.
The chief engineer of the project can not even physically check all the stages of the project, he is just one of the members of the project team.
Will they put him or not
Do not think that in the event of an accidentbe sure to plant an engineer. In fact, pre-trial investigation implies the appointment of the identification of the designer who made wrong odds or incorrectly made calculations in order to indict the performer. It turns out which organization gave an expert opinion. Although the punishment may be for the inspector, and in this case the ISU puts its signature on the project documentation, thereby confirming that it has checked the documents.
Highest Qualification
A stable but not correct view that the ISU -this is the most qualified specialist from the whole project organization. In fact, when a candidate is selected, the employer is guided by other criteria. For some, it is important that the applicant has a second education, economic or profiling, for example, a diploma in the field of creating ventilation systems. The candidate should have excellent communication skills, be organized in order to keep under control the deadlines for the execution of all stages of the project, be able to negotiate and other skills.
Whose side of the ISU
The project manager is a sort of arbiter,which should reconcile the parties. If a heat engineer and an electrician can not agree, it is natural that the chief engineer can not be qualified in specific matters, rather than highly specialized designers. Therefore, it must bring to both sides the economic feasibility of resolving the dispute, in fact, protect the interests of the investor without losing quality and full compliance with safety regulations.
