Civil Engineering Technologist
Civil engineering technologists support and supervise a
range of functions to assist civil engineers in the research,
design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering
projects, such as dwellings, large buildings, railways, roads,
bridges, airports, ports and docks, dams and water supply
systems.
Civil engineering technologists may perform the following
tasks:
- estimate costs and prepare specifications for materials
used in civil engineering works
- assist in establishing detailed programs for the
planning of design and construction processes
- communicate with project managers and construction
workers
- organise the delivery of materials, plant and equipment
needed for construction, and supervise labour
- analyse and record reports on loading, labour,
productivity, quality, materials and performance
- operate and program computers to assist with
calculations
- measure and test material processes or systems related
to civil engineering works
- inspect civil engineering works, modify and supervise
repair work and maintenance
- check to make sure that finished works are within
specifications, contract terms and regulations.
Civil engineering technologists may specialise in the areas
of buildings and water resources, soils and foundations,
transport or town planning.
Consulting and contracting engineering technologists often
travel interstate and some may travel overseas. It may be
necessary for some civil engineering technologists to change
residence every few years as their work takes them from one
major engineering site to another.
