Working as and M and E engineer in the construction industry
Hello guys, I will graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering next year and I am thinking of joining the construction industry as an M and E engineer.
The only thing I know about the M and E engineer job is that it doesn't have regular working hours. Just trying to look for some advice from current M and E engineers on how the industry is like, how the career progression is like for an M and E engineer, how the pay is, whether the irregular working hours occur on a regular basis and etc.... |

Otherwise as a field engineer you will never progress beyond 15k even if work for more than 10 years. |
Construction industry is okay. You will learn alot but the pay is low.
The industry is not promising. Joining the civil service, you will have a good starting pay but you will end up as a paper engineer. Would be best to enter the private industry for a few years of practical design experience then join civil sector. So later on, you can apply to be a professional Engineer. |

Maybe you guys can also put down the number the years you guys have been in the field as an M and E engineer, your current pay, working hours, etc. Thanks! |

Just to get back to topic, I am a field engineer/project manager in a Korean construction company. 15 years exp drawing app. 290k inclusive of all allowance & bonus. In terms of work hours, it is mainly project driven. During peak periods and falling behind deadlines there are times I work 48 hrs straight only taking short breaks at site.
