Civil Engineers use their knowledge of mathematics, physics and engineering to design key infrastructure. They often oversee teams made up of subcontractors, clients, architects and other engineers. Civil Engineers typically have strong skills in project management and leadership, as well as technical competence. A typical working day for a Civil Engineer could include research and design work in an office, before travelling to a construction site to monitor the progress of a project.
