Civil Engineering Technician

A Civil Engineering Technician supports civil engineers in designing and implementing infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and drainage systems. You may work on-site or in an office, assisting with project planning, site inspections, and data collection. Your tasks will include preparing technical drawings, conducting surveys, and ensuring compliance with engineering standards. You'll also assist in managing project materials and monitoring construction progress.

Civil Engineering Technicians play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and safety of infrastructure projects. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and organised, with strong problem-solving skills. Collaboration with engineers, contractors, and other professionals is essential to ensure projects are completed efficiently and meet all regulatory requirements.
