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.

Important skills for a Civil Engineer include strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and proficiency in using specialized software for designing and modeling infrastructure systems.
