What is the general meaning of the term "resident engineer"? I've heard the title used before but was never sure exactly how the role of someone in that position differed from that of a "standard" staff engineer.

In my experience, the Resident Engineer is in charge of the field (i.e. jobsite) team, usually overseeing the QA/QC, Safety, Schedule/Progress, Field Changes, RFIs, etc.What is the general meaning of the term "resident engineer"?

In the Navy, the "ROICC" was a better name for an office, even though the guy in charge is/was certainly *THE* ROICC. The ROICC Office construct has been changed and now, for the most part, the FEAD is now the office that manages the construction projects. There are still a few ROICCs and OICCs (Bethesda and a couple for the Marine Corps).This person is also referred to as the ROICC in the Army and Navy at some or most locations. (Resident Officer in Charge of Construction) Although I was told the Navy changed that acronym to FEAD (Field Engineering & Architecture Department or Facility Engineering Acquisition Division depending on who you talk to)
