Construction Engineering Jobs in West Virginia

A Construction Engineer is a key professional in the construction industry, responsible for designing, planning, managing, and overseeing construction projects. Their work can range from constructing buildings, bridges, and roads to managing water supply systems and sewage treatment plants. They apply the principles of civil engineering to ensure that the structures are safe, sustainable, and of the highest quality. Additionally, they are in charge of managing budgets, hiring subcontractors, and ensuring projects are delivered on time.

Important skills for a Construction Engineer include strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, excellent communication, leadership, and project management skills.
