Civil & Structural Engineering skills assessment
Civil and structural engineers design the structures and infrastructure communities depend on. This scorecard covers analysis, design codes, drawings, site support and professional judgement so firms can develop engineers consistently.
- 12 skills to score
- 1–10 scale on every skill
- 6 starting levels
The 12 Civil & Structural Engineering skills you can score
These are the default Civil & Structural Engineering skills in SkillScorer. Each one is scored from 1 to 10 for every engineer, and you can edit, remove or add skills at any time.
Structural Analysis
Models loads and behaviour accurately and checks results for reasonableness before relying on them.
Design to Standards
Applies codes and standards correctly to sizing, detailing and compliance decisions.
Geotechnical and Foundation Awareness
Understands soil behaviour and selects suitable foundations with geotechnical input.
Drawings and Documentation
Produces or reviews clear, coordinated drawings and specifications that builders can use.
Software Proficiency
Uses analysis, CAD and BIM tools competently and understands their limitations.
Hydraulics and Drainage Design
Designs stormwater and drainage systems that meet capacity and regulatory requirements.
Site Inspection and Construction Support
Inspects work on site, answers queries and resolves design issues quickly.
Cost and Buildability Awareness
Considers cost, materials and construction methods when developing designs.
Calculation Quality and Checking
Documents calculations clearly so they can be independently checked.
Client and Stakeholder Communication
Explains technical issues and options clearly to non-engineers.
Risk and Safety in Design
Identifies design hazards and eliminates or reduces them early.
Professional Ethics
Works within competence and accepts responsibility for engineering decisions.
Levels included with Civil & Structural Engineering
Civil & Structural Engineering starts with 6 levels, which SkillScorer calls “Seniority Level” for engineering, so engineers can be grouped and compared fairly. Rename, reorder or replace them at any time.
- Graduate
- Engineer
- Senior Engineer
- Principal Engineer
- Team Lead
- Engineering Manager
How Civil & Structural Engineering works in SkillScorer
Score
Each engineer in a team is scored on the Civil & Structural Engineering skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank engineers, compare two side by side, or compare your teams against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Civil & Structural Engineering skills need attention. Reports also follow each team lead's team.
Civil & Structural Engineering scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Civil & Structural Engineering scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Civil & Structural Engineering scorecard covers 12 skills: Structural Analysis, Design to Standards, Geotechnical and Foundation Awareness, Drawings and Documentation, Software Proficiency, Hydraulics and Drainage Design, Site Inspection and Construction Support, Cost and Buildability Awareness, Calculation Quality and Checking, Client and Stakeholder Communication, Risk and Safety in Design and Professional Ethics. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are engineers scored in Civil & Structural Engineering?
Every engineer is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one team and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Civil & Structural Engineering?
Civil & Structural Engineering starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Graduate, Engineer, Senior Engineer, Principal Engineer, Team Lead and Engineering Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Civil & Structural Engineering skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In engineering the app talks about engineers, teams and team leads, and you can change any of those words too.
