OF DPWH PROJECT ENGINEERS AND
INSPECTORS
In order to ensure that only qualified and competent field engineers will be assigned to
supervise DPWH projects, the hereto attached revised guidelines on the accreditation and
assignment of DPWH Project Engineers and Inspectors are hereby prescribed.
The Bureau of Quality and Safety shall be responsible for the accreditation of DPWH Project
Engineers and Inspectors as redefined under Department Order No. 137, Series of 2015 and
shall seek technical assistance and services which are deemed necessary from any office of the
Department to effectively carry out its tasks.
This Order shall take effect immediately and supersedes the following Department Orders:

The following criteria shall be applied in the evaluation for the accreditation of Field
Engineers.
- Training 10 points
- Experience 25 points
c. Performance 30 points
Education and eligibility are a Pass/Fail criterion. Those who fail this criterion
shall be disqualified outright.
The rating for this criterion shall be based on the relevant trainings
attended by the field engineers. The relevant trainings and their
corresponding points are as follows:
b) The number of years that the applicant has been handling contracts
as Provisional Project Engineer, Provisional Project Inspector, Project
Manager, Junior Project Engineer, Project Engineer, Resident
Engineer, Materials Engineer or Project Inspector whether in the
government or private sector; or the number of years that the
applicant has been involved in QAU related activities, i.e.
assessments, investigation and final inspection for
completion/acceptance
A Includes contracts for clustered projects, MOAs and projects undertaken by administration

Points for this criterion shall be the highest point earned based on the
number of contracts using columns 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the above table.
Ex.
Column No. of Contracts Points
Column (1) = 3 = 4
Column (2) = 5 = 5
Column (3) = 8 = 8
Column (4) = 1 = 6
• 1 point per year, but the total shall not exceed 15 points
The criterion rating shall be based on the performance evaluation using the
Department's Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) as indicated in
the Individual Performance Commitment and Review (IPCR) form.
For each rating period, the equivalent points of the SPMS numerical rating are
shown in Exhibit "B".
The rating for this criterion shall be based on the results of the examination
administered at the end of the Comprehensive Training for DPWH· Field
Engineers or Project Manager's Course. The raw score obtained in the
examination shall be multiplied by the factor weight of 35% to obtain the earned
points for this criterion.
Field engineers shall be classified according to their total rating. The total rating shall
be the sum of the ratings obtained in training and experience, performance and the
accreditation examination.
The classification of field engineers shall be as follows:
b. Classification ranks may be upgraded individually upon the request of each field
engineer who acquires additional qualification requirements after the initial
accreditation.
