Career Opportunity
Graduates of the Civil Engineering Study Program have career opportunities in various sectors including:
- Building control surveyor
If you enjoy working with details, and are interested in buildings and construction, this civil engineering job prospect is one to consider. According to Prospects, a building control surveyor is tasked with ensuring that all applicable laws and regulations are properly followed during the construction process. - Building construction consultant
If the previous civil engineering job prospects talked about surveyors for buildings, this profession focuses more on your role as a project manager. Well, your job is to organize and supervise the ongoing construction, manage development costs, and see the potential risks that can occur during the development process. - Civil engineer contractor
Civil engineer contractors will turn the plans made by consultants into reality. They are the ones who will see the real situation on the ground, and how to implement what has been made by the consultant. They will see how the real situation on the ground is, and how to implement what has been made by the consultant. - Structural engineer
Structural engineer is a civil engineering job prospect that combines math and science creatively. This combination of knowledge is used to design building structures and solve problems that may occur during the construction process. Structural engineers must design building structures that can withstand the pressures from the surrounding environment, and from later human use. While this applies to newly planned buildings, it also applies to existing buildings. - Water engineer
The next job prospect for civil engineering graduates is water engineer. As the name suggests, you will be involved in matters related to water. Launching Prospect, the responsibility of a water engineer is to ensure the supply of clean water supply, waste water and sewerage disposal, and flood prevention. You will also be involved in the repair, maintenance, and construction of buildings that control water sources such as water walls and reservoirs. - Geotechnical engineer
As a geotechnical engineer, you will test and analyze the risks a building poses to people and the environment. The geotechnical engineer profession will also involve a variety of activities such as regional research, investigation of building sites, to reporting and making development recommendations. - Construction Manager
Construction manager can also be a career choice for civil engineering graduates. Especially if you have good leadership skills. A construction manager will work closely with architects and surveyors to ensure that the construction can run properly. - Site manager
As a site manager, you are responsible for technical planning and operational control of a project. Not only that, the site manager will also be a liaison between the contractor and its clients. - Traffic and transportation planning engineer
A civil engineering graduate can also work as a traffic engineer and transportation planning. They are tasked with creating designs and managing transportation systems. The goal, of course, is to make transportation as efficient and effective as possible, whether it is transportation of people or transportation of goods. Transportation engineers are usually associated with the construction of roads, bridges, and bicycle lanes. So, they will also think about toll roads, transit, road zoning, and parking. - Highway engineer
Highway engineers are responsible for planning, designing, building, operating, and managing highways and toll roads. Not just roads, but also sidewalks, bridges, and tunnels. - Civil servants in the ministry
This is a job that future mothers-in-law are proud of, right? Well, don’t worry, civil engineering graduates can also become civil servants. For example, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the Ministry of Defense. Of course, the positions and positions occupied refer to expertise in a field. For example, structural engineers must have design, planning, analysis, and solution skills for infrastructure development projects. - Lecturer
What else do civil engineering majors work as? You can also become a lecturer and teach the knowledge you have gained to students. But generally, graduates of civil engineering majors who want to become lecturers need to take postgraduate education first. - Property developer
Another popular job prospect for civil engineering graduates is working in a property development company, aka developer. The property projects vary, ranging from housing, apartments, flats, hotels, to conference halls. Not infrequently, civil engineering graduates also build their own small companies to market their expertise in property planning and construction. - SOE construction staff
Do civil engineering graduates want to work in a State-Owned Enterprise (SOE)? Of course you can, especially in the construction sector. Moreover, the government is currently giving many infrastructure project development assignments to state-owned companies, so career opportunities are wide open.
