Areas of intervention
Civil engineers work in collaboration with architects and urban planners, with
other specialized engineers and with entrepreneurs, for the design, construction and management
residential, commercial, industrial or institutional buildings within project teams

In general, civil engineers are responsible for the design and construction.
or the installation and commissioning of the various systems of a building including the foundations,
the structures, mechanical, electrical and energy systems, including their certifications.
They ensure that they meet the requirements of society while ensuring the protection of the environment and the
citizen security.
Achievements
The achievements of civil engineers are mainly found in the four sectors.
following:
The residential sector: building, enlarging or renovating apartment buildings,
condominium buildings, residential projects or housing developments including
dozens, even hundreds of units;
The commercial sector: to build, enlarge or renovate all types of non-residential buildings
residential properties (except industrial), namely: agricultural buildings, stores,
warehouses, restaurants, communication centers, repair workshops, centers
of research, hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, centers
recreational tourism
The institutional sector: to build, expand, or renovate all types of non-building.
residential properties owned by the public, as well as private cultural or community buildings such as
that municipal buildings (fire stations, police stations, public works garages,
town halls, etc.), schools, hospitals, residences for the elderly, daycare centers,
university buildings, sports centers (arenas, etc.), museums, cultural centers
(theaters, concert halls, libraries), as well as other government buildings;
The industrial sector: building, expanding or renovating various types of industrial buildings such as
factories, manufacturing workshops, warehouses of industrial complexes, mines, and the
mining installations, oil installations, etc.
Manage, renovate and preserve the built heritage including schools, hospitals, arenas, museums, buildings

Possible jobs
Potential employers of civil engineers are companies and organizations involved in
the design, construction, renovation or management of buildings: consultancy firms,
construction companies in buildings and public works (BTP), manufacturing companies of
building products, governments, municipalities, school boards, public communities,
as well as standardization and regulatory bodies. You could also choose to become
advisor, entrepreneur or even teacher.
