Civil Engineering is quite a wide ranging category of engineering. It covers everything from construction of buildings to providing electricity. Often Engineers will specialise in one of the following areas; structural, transport, environmental, maritime or geotechnical.
Civil Engineers create and maintain the infrastructure in which we live. They work on big construction projects like the olympics and smaller ones such as the maintenance of our roads.

To become a Civil Engineer you must first and foremost be a problem solver. You must have good communication and teamwork skills, as you will often be working with others trades people. You must have excellent Maths, Science and IT knowledge and be able to use CAD.
Being educated to either degree or postgraduate level in Civil Engineering is often a requirement for job applications. Completing an apprenticeship, foundation degree or HND can also be a path into Civil Engineering.
