Civil Engineer

Civil Engineers Create, Improve And Protect The Environment In Which We Live. They Plan, Design And Oversee Construction And Maintenance Of Building Structures And Facilities, Such As Roads, Railways, Airports, Bridges, Harbours, Dams, Irrigation Projects, Power Plants, Water And Sewage Systems. They Also Design And Build Tall Buildings And Large Structures, So That They Can Last For Hundreds Of Years And Withstand All Weather Conditions.

Civil Engineers Can Either Be Consulting Engineers Who Advise On Projects And Design Them, Or Contracting Engineers Who Turn Their Plans Into Reality And Maintain The Structures Once They Are Built.
