Abstract
The duties, responsibilities, and objectives of a specification engineer are defined in job descriptions by ASCE grade and title. The qualifications of a typical specifications department are indicated. Such job descriptions are useful for organizing or expanding a specifications department and for educational purposes. It is stated that the position should be separate from both design and procurement.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
