Engineering Education Australia

workshop series to develop your emerging engineers into construction managers with the skills to optimise value and reduce construction risk.

Based on what construction engineers say about PD needs

This series of training workshops is the outcome of a collaboration with the National Committee for Construction Engineering (NCCE) and EEA.It commenced with researching Engineers Australia members including NCCE. Construction engineers told us they wanted more learning opportunities on managing:

Contracts Risk Projects

Design Health and Safety

Series Outline

Managing Construction ContractsThis two day workshop will discuss key concepts in contract management, with particular focus on construction. Topics include creating a contract, managing performance including lateness and termination, liability in construction cases, disclosure, anti-competitive practices, payments, extensions of time, latent conditions, standards compliance, intellectual property and design work. Many case studies in construction management course will be considered.

Design Management for ConstructionThis one day workshop addresses how to maximise the design outcomes through excellence in managing design consultants. The workshop covers value management, design procurement, design risks, constructability in design, safetyin design and management of designers. Learning applies to both temporary and permanent works design.

Series Learning Outcomes

1 Improve your understanding of contract law and techniquesto effectively negotiate and manage a construction contract including how to avoid pitfalls and work through disputes.

4 How to better manage key risks through a framework andprocess that is consistent with ISO 31000 including how to interpret the corporate risk policy from the perspective of a particular project.

2 Refresh and enhance your project management tools andtechniques to better manage procurement, people, works and progress reporting.

5 Develop the tools to assist you to understand how to createan appropriate safety culture onsite and to effectively utilise the health and safety function to improve outcomes.

3 Structure, selection and management of thedesign process to enhance value management, manage design risks and ensure delivery of a safe constructible design.

Project ManagementThis two day workshop will refresh and enhance yourproject management skills. Project Management is a critical management technique that enhances the capacity to deliver on time, to budget and fit for purpose.

Importantly, it will provide you with an overview of key elements of project governance whilst equipping you to better manage key stakeholders through effectively monitoring of works competed in progress and scheduled.

Managing Construction RisksThis one day workshop presents the use of risk registers to identify, analyse and prepare treatments for risks encountered through all stages of a design and build contract. The course investigates the management of risk through
