Civil Engineer - Road / Sewerage

A civil engineer plans, designs, and oversees the construction and maintenance of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, dams, buildings, airports, and drainage systems. They analyze survey reports, maps, and other data to plan projects effectively. Civil engineers collaborate with architects, contractors, and clients to ensure project specifications, safety standards, and environmental regulations are met. They also manage budgets, timelines, and resources, and often supervise construction sites to ensure work is executed properly and safely.
