Civil engineers can work in a versatile range of

positions and projects. Civil engineering

specializations such as structural, environmental,
geotechnical and transportation engineering all
entitle challenging, constantly changing work
environments and require creativity, adaptability,
good problem-solving skills and ability to think on
one’s feet. As a civil engineer, despite your area of
specialization, you need to be sensitive to local and
environmental challenges as well as to the
requirements of different construction project
participants. You need to have attention to detail
while simultaneously understanding “the bigger
picture”. In addition to the wide spectrum of
challenges, the versatility of projects civil
engineers can participate in ensures that you are
unlikely to have a dull moment at work. You can
work below the surface delivering tunnels,
underground railways and energy and water
supplies as well as above the surface creating
roads, bridges, stadiums, hospitals, skyscrapers
and many more.
As a civil engineer, you are likely to be constantly
on the move, sharing your time between the site,
the office and perhaps even different geographical
locations.
