What is CIVIL ENGINEERING?
Civil and structural engineers work in a range of sectors, particularly the construction sector, on buildings of all kinds, transport, and communications infrastructure. This includes bridges, roads, tunnels, canals, and other large structures. They also work for employers involved in the production, storage, and distribution of electricity, gas, and water.
Civil engineers are employed by a wide range of contractors and consultancies and also work in-house for a variety of national and multinational organizations. There are many opportunities in the public sector, with local authorities, government departments, and environmental organizations, where engineers are often involved in setting project specifications and drafting tender documents.
