occupational fields
Where do civil engineers work after graduation?
The occupational fields in civil engineering after graduation are wide-ranging and, depending on the subject area, the job offers are also very varied. Potential industries and companies in which graduates later work include
- Construction companies and construction firms
- Engineering offices
- Companies for prefabricated parts and building materials
- Property development or management companies
- Public service
- Municipal utilities and waste disposal companies
- Transport companies
- Environmental protection
- Research institutions
The job situation for civil engineers is fundamentally dependent on the construction industry, but can currently be described as very good. This is also due to the fact that a lot is happening in the construction industry. New developments require new skilled labour, which in turn means stable prospects for the future.
What tasks are there in civil engineering?
The respective tasks of a civil engineer are just as varied as their areas of application:
- Planning and construction (e.g. supporting structures, enclosures, roads, tunnels)
- project management
- Construction site management
- Building Information Modelling (BIM)
- environmental engineering
- Safety engineering
- Conservation and refurbishment
- Appraisal and expert services
