Civil Engineer Salary - £26,000 - £37,000 Potential Route GCSE Product Design A Level Product Design Resistant Materials Engineering@ The Nottingham Trent University As a civil engineer you plan, design and manage construction projects. Projects range from the relatively small-scale, such as bridge repairs, through to large national schemes, like the building of the new Olympic stadium. Civil engineering can cover several specialist areas of engineering, so you could be employed in any one of the following branches, structural – dams, buildings, offshore platforms and pipelines, transportation – roads, railways, canals and airports, environmental – water supply networks, drainage and flood barriers, maritime – ports, harbours and sea defences, geotechnical – mining, earthworks and construction foundations. These branches can overlap, but in all areas, your typical duties could include, discussing requirements with the client and other professionals like architects, surveyors and building contractors, analysing survey, mapping and materials-testing data with computer modelling software, drawing up blueprints, using computer aided design (CAD) packages, judging whether projects are workable by assessing materials, costs, time and labour requirements, assessing the environmental impact and risks connected to projects, preparing bids for tenders, and reporting to clients, public agencies and planning bodies, managing, directing and monitoring progress during each phase of a project, making sure sites meet legal guidelines, and health and safety requirements.
