What’s it like to be a Civil Engineering Technologist?
Civil engineering technologists assist civil engineers in the research,
design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering projects. Typical
projects include dwellings, large buildings, railways, roads, bridges,
airports, ports and docks, dams and water supply systems.
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.
How much can I expect to earn?
