What does a civil engineer do?
Civil engineers design, build, and maintain infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, drainage systems, and water treatment facilities. Employed across the construction, utilities, rail and highways sectors, they are involved in every stage of a project, from feasibility and planning through to construction and maintenance.
Strong technical knowledge, project management capability, and a good grasp of relevant regulations and standards are essential. Many civil engineers work within multidisciplinary teams, liaising with planners, architects, and contractors to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and within budget. The role is well-suited to professionals who enjoy problem-solving and technical design within the built environment.
