Civil engineers design things. These might be roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, or water supply and sewage systems. They must consider many factors in their designs, from the costs to making sure the structure will stay intact during bad weather. This is one of the oldest types of engineering.
Many civil engineers manage people and projects. A civil engineer may oversee a construction site or be a city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and teaching. There are many specialties within civil engineering, such as structural, construction, environment, and transportation.

Civil engineers usually work in areas where there is lots of manufacturing and businesses. Often they work at construction sites. Sometimes they work in places that are far away from cities. Most engineers work at least 40 hours per week. Some are required to travel. A college degree in engineering is needed for almost all beginning engineering jobs. College graduates with a degree in a science or mathematics may get some jobs. A civil engineer must get a license from the State to offer services directly to the public. A license requires 4 years of relevant work experience and passing an exam. Beginning engineers often work under an experienced engineer to learn as much as possible. To teach engineering, further schooling is needed. It is expected that civil engineer jobs will increase much faster than the average for all occupations through 2018. More civil engineers will be needed to design and build things as the population grows. For example, they will need to fix and replace buildings and roads as they continue to become old, unsafe, and worn out.
Some job openings will occur to replace those who go to other jobs or leave the labor force. Job openings will also depend on where you live. There may not be as many jobs when the economy is doing poorly. This is because there is often less construction at such times.

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.

There are a lot of specialties in civil engineering. Some of the include soils engineering, petrochemical engineering, and my dad's specialty, structural engineering. Structural engineers are the ones who actually design the insides of buildings so that they can be built. An architect decides what the outside and inside spaces will look like, but a structural engineer is the one who makes it all possible by making sure the guts of the building can keep it upright.

Later in his career he got into cost estimating, which is a subspecialty of structural engineering. He estimated the costs for projects, taking into account how much they were going to need to spend for concrete, steel, etc...and making sure that the projects came in either on or under the budgeted amount. He said that was actually a lot more fun than designing what amounts to the skeleton of a building.

Some of them do, in fact, sit in a cubicle from 9-5, but a lot of civil engineers are out in the field. For instance, a petrochemical engineer is out where the oil or gas wells are, and a soils engineer is out at the site where something is going to be built, making sure the soil can handle the loads and stresses put on it, etc...

There are a ton of specialities within the framework of civil engineering--I only told you about three of them. I am sure if you do some research, you can find out more about it and may be able to find a specialty which interests you.

civil engineers are those who construct the sewers, dams, power plant, high ways etc. and they are professionals in this field.

Civil engineers usually practice in a particular specialty. Some civil engineers, particularly those working for government agencies, may practice across multiple specializations, particularly when involved in critical infrastructure development or maintenance.

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like bridges, roads, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.
