Civil engineers are responsible for the infrastructures that make transportation, energy supply, industry, and commerce possible. They plan, design, build, manage, operate, or maintain structures like roads, harbours, airports, railways, water supply systems, tunnels, bridges, and power grids, as well as undertake projects such as river control and irrigation. They are also experts in how a structure is used and the context in which it is situated.
As a Civil Engineering graduate, you will find employment opportunities working on geoenvironmental, transportation, geo-technical, structural, geomatics, and project management issues. Potential employers include engineering consulting firms, construction companies, government agencies, inspection and testing companies, municipalities, provincial and federal governments, utility corporations, and construction material suppliers.
