Construction engineers are highly precise and creative building professionals. They are passionate about civil engineering construction where they can oversee the design and building of a range of structures. Given their engineering specialty, construction engineers are essential to ensuring that infrastructure around the world is built safely, strongly, and durably.
A construction engineer’s responsibilities span project management, engineering, and construction. Common tasks include overseeing building progress and ensuring people’s safety on construction sites. They also review the project's design to ensure its structurally correct and evaluate the project's structural, electrical, and mechanical condition before, during, and after building. In addition, construction project engineers are responsible for developing project budgets, gathering resources, operating machinery, inspecting equipment, and using computer software for planning and design.
In this career, construction engineers apply their passion for creating with specialized technical knowledge and expertise to procure materials to create an effective construction schedule, ensure the quality of all construction materials, and conduct regular tests to ensure compliance with civil engineering construction regulations. Construction engineers often work closely with civil engineers, structural engineers, building contractors, and other specialists, to guide the building work as specified.
Construction engineers are frequently in demand in the construction industry where building on any scale happens. They can help build homes, offices, bridges, skyscrapers, and other large buildings like tunnels, power plants, dams, and beyond. There is never a dull moment on a construction site, making this career perfect for those who like challenges.
