Civil & Environmental Engineering Careers

Careers in Geotechnical/Structural Engineering focus on the design and analysis of structures and the behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical Engineers analyze soil and rock properties to design foundations, retaining walls, and other structures. They ensure stability and safety in construction projects, particularly in challenging terrains. Structural Engineers are responsible for designing and analyzing buildings, bridges, and other structures to ensure they can withstand loads and forces. They work on creating safe and efficient designs that comply with regulations and standards.

In Environmental/Water Resources Engineering, professionals work on projects that manage and protect natural resources. Environmental Engineers develop solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution control, waste management, and sustainable practices. They aim to minimize environmental impact and enhance sustainability. Water Resources Engineers are focused on managing water supply, quality, and distribution. They design systems for flood control, irrigation, and water treatment, ensuring efficient use and conservation of water resources.

Careers in Transportation/Project Management involve planning, designing, and managing infrastructure projects. Transportation Engineers are responsible for designing and improving transportation systems, including roads, bridges, and transit networks. They work on enhancing safety, efficiency, and accessibility. Project Managers oversee construction and engineering projects from inception to completion. They coordinate teams, manage budgets, and ensure projects meet deadlines and specifications.
