Civil Engineer Jobs in Tennessee

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.

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. They should also have excellent communication skills to effectively present their ideas and negotiate with clients and other professionals. The essential certifications for a Civil Engineer include a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and a Professional Engineer (PE) license which requires a degree from an ABET-accredited program, four years of relevant work experience, and passing scores on two exams. Prior to becoming a Civil Engineer, individuals might work as a Civil Engineering Intern, Engineering Technician, or Junior Civil Engineer to gain practical experience and technical skills in the field.
