Jin-il, Gwangju City Officer, Achieves Dual Certification as Technical Expert

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 19th that Jin Il, an administrative officer (Facility Grade 6) in the Sewerage Management Division of the Environmental Ecology Bureau, passed the 121st Construction Safety Engineer exam, achieving the distinction of being the first at Gwangju City Hall to hold two professional engineer certifications, having previously obtained the Civil Engineering Construction Engineer certification in 2012.

The Construction Safety Engineer certification is the highest-level qualification granted to individuals with advanced expertise and practical experience to prevent accidents and disasters at construction sites, in accordance with the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which was revised and strengthened last January. The annual pass rate is within 10%, and among the final successful candidates this time, only one person from the Gwangju area passed. It is known as one of the most difficult professional engineer exams.

Jin, who was appointed in 2004 through the civil service exam in the civil engineering field, has accumulated practical experience in various areas such as water supply and sewerage, and roads. While working in the facility sector (civil engineering), he has devoted himself to self-development and earned a master's degree from Chonnam National University last year.

Additionally, in June, he completed the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Design Economic Feasibility Review (VE) course and obtained the Construction VE Professional (CVP) certification. Through continuous self-development, he has acquired 10 national technical qualifications and is recognized as a specialist in civil engineering and safety fields.

Jin Il said, "My diverse work experience at various construction sites has greatly helped me obtain this qualification," adding, "I will continue to study and research steadily to actively apply my professional skills at construction sites conducted by Gwangju City for the safety and convenience of citizens."
