Civil Project Work

Direct engineering activities, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, or other governmental regulations. Manage and direct the construction, operations, or maintenance activities at project site. Provide technical advice to industrial or managerial personnel regarding design, construction, program modifications, or structural repairs. Analyze survey reports, maps, drawings, blueprints, aerial photography, or other topographical or geologic data. Estimate quantities and cost of materials, equipment, or labor to determine project feasibility. Analyze manufacturing processes or byproducts to identify engineering solutions to minimize the output of carbon or other pollutants. Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements. Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects to ensure conformance to specifications. Confer with the supervisor to determine project details such as plan preparation, acceptance testing, and evaluation of field conditions. Analyze proposed site factors and design maps, graphs, tracings, and diagrams to illustrate findings. Prepare reports and document project activities and data. Inspect project site and evaluate contractor work to detect design malfunctions and ensure conformance to design specifications and applicable codes. Conduct materials test and analysis, using tools and equipment and applying engineering knowledge. Develop project budgets by estimating the cost of project activities. Negotiate with contractors on prices for new contracts or modifications to existing contracts. Identify environmental risks and develop risk management strategies for civil engineering projects.
