Gyeonggi Province Recruits Committee Members for Technology-based Procurement Projects… Emphasis on Expertise and Integrity

Gyeonggi Province will open public recruitment from November 15 to November 28 for "2018 Gyeonggi Province Construction Technology Review Committee Design Review Subcommittee Members" who will be responsible for design evaluation and review of technology-based procurement projects throughout the province for the coming year.

The recruitment comes as the current members' terms of the design review subcommittee are set to expire at the end of this year.

Design review subcommittee members will be responsible for design evaluation of primarily technology-based procurement projects (lump-sum bidding, technical proposal, alternative bidding) valued at 300 billion won or more, promoted by Gyeonggi Province, its subordinate institutions, and cities and counties within the province.

The province plans to select members through public recruitment to ensure transparency in committee composition and provide equal opportunities to many candidates.

The recruitment covers 13 fields with a total of 52 positions: railroad (2), civil engineering construction (6), civil engineering structure (2), soil and geology (4), architectural planning (6), architectural construction (5), architectural structure (5), electrical (5), water and sewage (1), landscape (4), mechanical (6), environment (2), and transportation (4). In particular, as new demand is anticipated, such as the Dobong Mountain to Okjeong Metropolitan Railway project next year, the province plans to increase positions in transportation and railroad-related fields.

The term for design review subcommittee members will run from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 for one year.

Applicants must be working in the capital region (Gyeonggi, Seoul, Incheon) in construction technology-related fields and fall into one of the following categories: Grade 4 or higher civil servants holding a technological engineer or doctorate degree, executives of public enterprises, employees at Grade 2 or higher holding a technological engineer or doctorate degree, chief researchers at public research institutions, or professors in engineering-related departments at universities.

Applications can be submitted by downloading relevant forms from the Gyeonggi Province official website (http://www.gg.go.kr) in the notices/recruitment section or the Gyeonggi Province Construction Technology Review Committee member list page, and submitting them via email by 6 p.m. on November 28.

Member selection will proceed through preliminary screening based on qualifications and career credentials, with final members selected through computer lottery.

Nam Dong-kyung, director of Gyeonggi Province's Construction Policy Division, stated, "Gyeonggi Province has made various efforts to ensure fair and transparent review through regular integrity education and other measures, and not a single case of bidding irregularities has occurred so far." He added, "We hope that excellent construction experts with expertise and integrity will actively participate in the committee."
