ANZSCO 2332 – Private and Public Advertisers (Government, Private & Corporate Professional, Scientific and Technical Services)
Positions available 9,000+ NSW VIC QLD SA WA TAS NT ACT
Civil engineering professionals play a vital role in the design, planning, organization, and supervision of various civil engineering projects. Their expertise encompasses a wide range of structures such as dams, bridges, pipelines, gas and water supply schemes, sewerage systems, roads, airports, and other infrastructure. They analyse the anticipated behaviour of soil and rock under pressure from proposed structures, enabling them to design suitable foundations for structural stability. They also examine the static properties of different types of structures and conduct tests to evaluate the performance and durability of construction materials. Additionally, civil engineering professionals contribute to the planning and development of transportation systems while estimating and monitoring the construction costs of projects.
