The Interview will be conducted by a Panel of Professional Interviewers delegated by the General Council for the purpose, an admitted Construction Supervisor Member can serve as one of the Panel members for the interview.
Candidates should satisfy the Panel of Interviewers with his/her competence and practical working experience in construction; as well as personal responsibilities to the society, employer, colleagues and collaborating partners.
