What Civil Engineers Do
Civil engineers design, build, and supervise infrastructure projects and systems.
Work Environment
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.
How to Become a Civil Engineer
Civil engineers need a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, in one of its specialties, or in civil engineering technology. They typically need a graduate degree and licensure for promotion to senior positions. Although licensure requirements vary by state, civil engineers usually must be licensed if they provide services directly to the public.
Pay
The median annual wage for civil engineers was $87,060 in May 2019.
Job Outlook
Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2019 to 2029, slower than the average for all occupations. As infrastructure continues to age, civil engineers will be needed to manage projects to rebuild, repair, and upgrade bridges, roads, levees, dams, airports, buildings, and structures of all types.
