Career of the Week Civil Engineer As a civil engineer, you'll oversee the actual construction on the ground and work in conjunction with consulting engineers. All civil engineers need a good understanding of design and construction processes, as well as of health and safety issues. You'll organise human and material resources on-site and ensure that projects run to time and budget and are safe to work on.
