What are the job opportunities for civil engineers?

Question

Vivek C · Answer

Yes, civil engineering has huge scope considering the fact that India is a developing country and infrastructure is something huge things are happening and are in pipeline too .. I would advise you to go further for specialization in this field too.. like very few colleges and universities are offering Civil Engineering with specialization in Infrastructure. I know one university called UTM, Shillong which is famous for the programs like this called Civil Engineering with specialisation in Infrastrcuture Development. Infrastructure is, in fact, one of the fastest growing field in India today. The booming economy is a result of bettering infrastructure in all spheres of industrialization. This engineering program at UTM has been designed to create a highly skilled construction and project management professionals who fully understand the planning, designing, estimating, execution and maintenance of structures. It even combines transportation infrastructure that encompasses road, airports, railways, docks and harbours, lifeline structures like bridges, dams and canals, and structures of water supply and sanitary units.

There is also government jobs for civil (PWD) if you have BTech degree.

Pallavi Sharma · Answer

As far as I know, Jobs where your degree would be useful include: Building services engineer. Construction manager. Engineering geologist. Other Job options- Building control surveyor. CAD technician. Consulting civil engineer. Contracting civil engineer. Design engineer. Estimator. Nuclear engineer. Site engineer. Civil Engineering is the branch of engineering where more precision is required in executing theoretical knowledge in real-time projects. If that knowledge isn't sufficient, blunders can happen. So, if one is thinking of opting for civil engineering, more precision is required in terms of choosing the college. Best University As per my understanding, Following are the Private Engineering Colleges in North India:- Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS), Pilani. Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), Mesra. VIT Bhopal University. SRM University Sonepat. Amity University Noida. Geeta University Nirma University of Science and Technology.

Adv. Ved Vinayak · Answer

An education in civil engineering, as is generally known, equips one for employment in the commercial, management, and finance sectors as well as the construction industry. The area of engineering that requires the most accuracy when applying theoretical knowledge to ongoing work is civil engineering. If that information is insufficient, mistakes may occur. As a result, choose a college requires greater care if one is considering selecting civil engineering. The area of engineering that requires the most accuracy when applying theoretical knowledge to ongoing work is civil engineering.

Civil engineers design, build, and supervise infrastructure projects and systems. Civil engineers generally work in a variety of locations and conditions. It is common for them to split their time between working in an office and working outdoors at construction sites so that they can monitor operations or solve problems onsite. Most work full time. Construction managers are the bosses of the working sites. Geotechnical engineer. Environmental engineer. Public Health engineer. Transportation engineer. Urban planning engineer. I can give you the answer to this question based on the feedback received from students who are known to me and are currently studying Civil Engineering at LPU.

Now, let's take a look at some of the most popular careers after you graduate: Construction manager. Construction managers are the bosses of the working sites. Geotechnical engineer. Environmental engineer. Public Health engineer. Transportation engineer. Urban planning engineer. I can give you the answer to this question based on the feedback received from students who are known to me and are currently studying Civil Engineering at LPU. Besides, few colleagues of mine who have previously worked in the same Dept. So, the following are the highlights of Civil engineering in LPU: - 1. Most of the faculty staff are from reputed organizations with their the highest degree from various reputed institutes such as IITs, NITs, etc. Apart from that, faculty have got previous industrial experience also. 2. The capstone project is an integral part of the B.Tech programme in which students have to pick a live project based on the practical problem-based scenario (ideally from industry) and work for six months under a mentor and present a report at the end. This is beneficial to enhance your presentation skills. 3. There is an internship programme that could be an opportunity for getting work experience and increase your chance to get employment after you pass out. But, of course, your academic record should be good to get this placement option. 4. Industrial visits are organized to nearby construction sites from time to time. There, you can SEE actual construction work going on. Be prepared to have dust on your shoes (believe me, it will be worth a lot). You have to ask questions yourself and trigger interest in the activities around you. 5. You will get some courses from soft skills, English language, mental and analytical aptitude side. This sounds dull to you as of now. But you will feel its importance when you face an interview panel in a company during your placement drives. 6. They have very good placement records and good infrastructure companies visit their campus, L & T, Simplex Piles Ltd, Era Infrastructure, Gammon India Ltd to name a few. 7. Career-oriented Software training in project labs is given. To work in this profession, you are supposed to be familiar with software like MS-Project, STAAD Pro, MX Road, etc. Nonetheless, you will be trained in Auto CAD in your second year which is a prerequisite for any Civil Engineer.
