Civil Engineer

A Civil Engineer designs and creates structures that serve the community. They use science to build everything from buildings and bridges to dams and sewerage systems. In fact, any infrastructure like roads, railways, airports and harbours will have been developed by Civil Engineers.

To build all of this infrastructure, a Civil Engineer is required to design, plan and collaborate. They work with a range of people including surveyors, urban planners, architects and construction managers to make a vision come to life.
