February 5, 2010, Newsletter Issue #10: Move On to an Upper-Level Civil Engineer Job
Tip of the Week
If you're ready to move on to the next stage in your civil engineering career, you may be considering an upper-level civil engineer job. Though an upper-level civil engineering job diverges from the fundamentals of project execution that lower level jobs require, you must be able to demonstrate your firm grasp of these skill sets. However, a potential employer will be more focused on your ability to manage rather than do. In addition to your mastering the positions that you will be managing, you are required to have excellent communication and people skills. Your ability to manage personnel is paramount compared to a deep understanding of each civil engineering job.
Another aspect of upper-level civil engineer jobs is the funding side. Positions for those who understand this side of private construction and government civil engineering jobs are available. In addition to this, there is a need for those with knowledge of cost and resource estimation, design, staffing, and regulatory guidance.
Upper-level engineering jobs are the high point of civil engineering and, thus, provide the greatest rewards.
