What is a Civil Technologist?

Civil technologists are the professionals who design and maintain our infrastructure. They work for government agencies, utility companies and private construction firms.

Civil technologists are a crucial element of the construction industry. They work on projects from the beginning to the end, from planning to construction and maintenance. Civil engineers concentrate on planning and design, while civil technologists focus more on the practical aspects of building and maintenance.

The benefits of becoming a civil technologist include:

• The opportunity to work on exciting projects - civil engineers get to see their designs come to life every day, which can be very satisfying
• Working with other professionals - since civil engineers must collaborate with other professionals such as architects or planners, they need good communication skills so they can effectively communicate their ideas with others
