Vacancies For Civil Engineers

Job Description

Civil engineers create, improve and protect the environment in which we live. They plan, design and oversee construction and maintenance of building structures and infrastructure, such as roads, railways, airports, bridges, harbors, dams, irrigation projects, power plants, and water and sewerage systems. They also design and build tall buildings and large structures that can withstand all weather conditions.Generally, civil engineers fall into two types: consulting engineers and contracting engineers. Consultants are responsible for the design work of projects and work predominantly in an office. Contractors then take the designs and implement them during construction. Contractors work on site, managing the construction of the structure.Depending on whether you are a contractor or a consultant, work activities can include:ADVERTISE HEREundertaking technical and feasibility studies including site investigationsusing a range of computer software for developing detailed designsundertaking complex calculationsliaising with clients and a variety of professionals including architects and subcontractorscompiling job specs and supervising tendering proceduresresolving design and development problemsmanaging budgets and project resourcesscheduling material and equipment purchases and deliveriesmaking sure the project complies with legal requirements, especially health and safetyassessing the sustainability and environmental impact of projectsensuring projects run smoothly and structures are completed within budget and on timeWorking hours for consulting civil engineers are generally normal office hours, with some extra hours and weekend work close to project deadlines.

Both titles will help career prospects, but chartered engineers are often more sought after by employers. For more information, see our article on achieving chartered status.If you are applying for a graduate role within civil engineering, it will greatly help your career prospects if you have gained work experience during a year-in-industry or summer placement.
