Apoyo técnico en proyectos de la secretaria de infraestructura de Acacías Meta

Abstract

This report documents the internship undertaken at the Infrastructure Secretariat of the municipality of Acacías, Meta, as a graduation requirement for obtaining the Civil Engineering degree. The professional practice aimed to strengthen technical, administrative, and professional skills through active participation in real-world processes related to the management, formulation, execution, and monitoring of public infrastructure projects at the municipal level. During the period from July 2025 to January 2026, the intern served as a technical support specialist, participating in activities related to the preparation and review of technical and administrative documents, analysis of unit prices and construction budgets, document organization and control, preparation of plans and sketches, accompaniment on diagnostic and monitoring technical visits, as well as operational support during urban maintenance campaigns and inter-institutional activities. These tasks were carried out in accordance with the current regulatory framework, including public procurement regulations, technical design standards, and applicable urban and environmental regulations. The training process provided an understanding of the institutional dynamics specific to the public sector, highlighting the importance of document traceability, the coordination between technical and administrative components, and rigorous compliance with regulatory guidelines. Likewise, the experience contributed to strengthening soft skills such as effective communication, teamwork, time management, and professional responsibility. Finally, the report presents an institutional and personal SWOT analysis, the main contributions made during the internship, the lessons learned, and a series of recommendations aimed at the continuous improvement of the Infrastructure Secretariat's internal processes, recognizing the value of professional practice as a fundamental bridge between academic training and the actual practice of civil engineering in the public sector.
