Civil Engineer Jobs in Huntington Beach, CA

A Civil Engineer plays a pivotal role in the construction industry, overseeing the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, buildings, dams, and airports. They are responsible for ensuring the safety and durability of these structures, including their ability to withstand natural disasters. Civil Engineers carry out site investigations, analyze survey reports, maps, and data, as well as plan and design the structures according to the gathered information. They also handle budgeting, time management, and communication with clients, architects, and contractors.

Pertinent skills for a Civil Engineer include strong mathematical and scientific ability, problem-solving skills, design skills, and knowledge of construction materials and methods. Proficiency in software like AutoCAD, as well as knowledge of building and construction codes, is highly valued. Certifications such as the Professional Engineer (PE) license, which requires a degree from an accredited engineering program, passing scores on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Professional Engineering (PE) exams, and relevant work experience can enhance a Civil Engineer's credentials. Prior to becoming a Civil Engineer, individuals may take on roles such as Civil Engineering Intern, Junior Civil Engineer, or a Construction Project Engineer to gain practical experience in the field.
