One of the common practices in construction projects is the requirement to interview the project team members proposed by the contractor to be deployed on the project. To ensure that those interviews are comprehensive, transparent, and unbiased, it is highly recommended to have those interview questions pre-established by the project owner or the project management consultant (PMC). Those interviews are mainly for the key project personnel such as the project manager, construction manager, QA/QC manager, HSE manager, project control engineer, and planning engineer, among others.
A recent blog published by SAIKAT SEN identifies 66 questions that could be part of the interview questions for a planning engineer. The list is extensive and covers much of the skills and knowledge that a planning engineer should possess. Details of all those questions and the proposed response for each are available on https://whydoitrain.com/interview-questions-for-planning-engineer/
Using a project management information system (PMIS) like PMWeb, the project owner or the project management consultant (PMC) can document the interview questions for each possible role. Those interview questions can be reviewed and agreed on before being put into use. The form has details on who was interviewed and from which company. The form also includes details on when and where the interview took place as well as who did the interview. The form also includes the final comments made by the interviewer for the interviewed candidate. In addition, the form has a table of all interview questions, a score achieved out of 5 where 5 is perfect and 1 is no knowledge, and the comments made by the interviewer against each question if any.
Similar to other PMWeb forms, the attachment tab allows attaching all supportive documents that were shared during the interview. In addition, a workflow can be assigned to the form to formalize the submission of the interview assessment by the interviewer.
