civil engineering technician
Civil engineering technicians help design and execute construction plans and take on organisational tasks, for example in the planning and monitoring, and in bidding and invoicing of construction work. They also calculate material requirements, and help with the purchasing and organising, and ensure the quality of the construction materials. Civil engineering technicians may perform technical tasks in civil engineering and develop and advise on policy implementing strategies for road works, traffic lights, sewerage and water management systems.
Also called: civil engineering technical assistant, earthworks civil engineering superintendent, civil engineering technical officer, civil engineering superintendent, civil engineering design technician, road engineering superintendent, civils technician, hydraulic engineering superintendent
