Civil Engineers are involved with the design, development and construction of a huge range of projects in the built and natural environment. Their role is central to ensuring the safe, timely and well-resourced completion of projects in many areas, including highway construction, waste management, coastal development and geotechnical engineering.
Civil Engineers work activities include:
- undertaking technical and feasibility studies and site investigations
- developing detailed designs
- assessing the potential risks of specific projects, as well as undertaking risk management in specialist roles
- supervising tendering procedures and putting together proposals
- managing, supervising and visiting contractors on site and advising on civil engineering issues
- communicating and liaising effectively with colleagues and architects, subcontractors, contracting civil engineers, consultants, co-workers and clients
- thinking both creatively and logically to resolve design and development problems
- managing budgets and other project resources
- managing change, as the client may change his or her mind about the design, and identifying, formalising and notifying relevant parties of changes in the project
- leading teams of other engineers, perhaps from other organisations or firms
- compiling, checking and approving reports
- reviewing and approving project drawings
- using a range of design computer packages for designing projects and undertaking complex and repetitive calculations
