A Civil Engineer is an integral part of the engineering industry, responsible for designing, constructing, and overseeing the maintenance of infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, buildings, water supply systems, and wastewater treatment plants. They perform various tasks such as conducting feasibility studies, developing detailed plans, estimating costs, and ensuring that projects comply with legal requirements and environmental guidelines. A Civil Engineer also plays a crucial role in making decisions on issues like traffic flow, water resource use, and urban development.
