Civil engineers undertake research and design, direct construction and manage the operation and maintenance of civil and mining engineering structures.
Common tasks in this job:
- undertakes research and advises on soil mechanics, concrete technology, hydraulics, water and waste water treatment processes and other civil engineering matters
determines and specifies construction methods, materials, quality and safety standards and ensures that equipment operation and maintenance comply with design specifications
designs foundations and earthworks
designs structures such as roads, dams, bridges, railways, hydraulic systems, sewerage systems, industrial and other buildings and plans the layout of tunnels, wells and construction shafts
organises and plans projects, arranges work schedules, carries out inspection work and plans maintenance control
organises and establishes control systems to monitor operational efficiency and performance of materials and systems
What qualifications do I need?
Civil engineers usually possess an accredited three or four-year degree in civil engineering or engineering science or an accredited Higher National Diploma or Certificate. The status of ‘incorporated engineer’ is obtained upon the completion of further training at work and associate membership of a chartered engineering institution. The status of ‘chartered engineer’ is achieved through the completion of postgraduate training and full membership of a chartered engineering institution.
