Civil Engineering Careers
Civil engineering involves the construction and maintenance of New Zealand's infrastructure, which includes multi-storey buildings, tunnels, and dams. Work in this area includes: planning and design, building and construction, project management and inspections and maintenance.
- Civil Engineer
- Civil engineers plan, design and supervise the construction and repair of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, water systems, wastewater treatment plants and wharves.
- Civil Engineering Technician
- Civil engineering technicians plan the technical details for building and repairing roads, bridges, buildings and other similar structures.
- Coastal Engineer
- Coastal engineers study coastal and river systems, and are involved in protection and erosion work. They design coastal structures such as beaches, sea walls, marinas and ports, and assess the environmental effects these developments may have.
- Engineering Draughts Person
- Engineering draughts people make plans and drawings of structures or machines.
- Environmental Engineer
- Environmental engineers plan, design and supervise construction of public infrastructure such as wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and storm water and river-control works.
- Hydraulics Engineer
- Hydraulics engineers design, organise and supervise the building and repair of structures such as dams and canals. They also analyse natural water flow systems (streams, rivers and lakes) and work on urban-drainage, flood and stormwater management projects.
- Mining Engineer
- Mining engineers plan, prepare, design and manage the development of opencast (above ground) or underground mines.
- Natural Resources Engineer
- Natural resources engineers analyse natural resources such as the water, land, soil, plants and animals. They design technologies and systems that minimise the environmental impact of development and use natural resources in efficient and sustainable ways.
- Roading Engineer
- Roading engineers design, plan and supervise the building and repair of structures such as roads, motorways, car parks, pavements, tunnels, freight terminals and traffic islands. Roading engineers may also research driver behaviour and road safety.
- Structural Engineer
- Structural engineers analyse, design and manage the construction of a range of load-bearing structures such as houses, commercial buildings, sports stadiums, hospitals, bridges and telecommunications towers.
