Summary
A technical consultant who conducts surveys, analyses, designs, and proposals for civil engineering structures in public infrastructure and private facilities.
Description
Civil consultants (engaged in design) are professionals who target public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, dams, and water/sewage systems, as well as civil engineering structures for commercial facilities and factories. They conduct on-site surveys, geological and ground analyses, structural calculations, environmental assessments, preliminary and detailed designs, drawing creation, construction cost estimates, and construction planning proposals. They provide optimal technical proposals considering client requirements and legal regulations, participate from the initial project stages, collaborate with construction supervision departments, and advance designs that balance safety, economy, and environmental conservation. They utilize CAD, BIM/GIS tools, and structural calculation software to create reports and proposals. They also provide technical support to public organizations, general contractors, private companies, and local governments.
