The demand for skilled Civil Engineers will never slow down worldwide as infrastructure projects, construction of building, and many more structures will keep on increasing and will never be stagnant.
Civil Engineering is the foundation for civilization of mankind. Civil Engineering is a unique design thinking professional discipline dealing with planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining the natural environment for sustainability. Civil Engineers are responsible for National building infrastructures like shelter, roads, bridges, skyscrapers, canals, tunnels, harbours, dams, other big structures, etc., Civil Engineering has been playing a unique role in the national development. The era recognized Civil Engineers as the creators of wonders with the technological development.
There are many areas of specialization in Civil Engineering such as Coastal Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Urban Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, etc. Some of the other diversified specializations include Geo- Informatics Engineering, Geosciences Engineering and Materials Engineering. The job opportunities are plenty in domain specialization like Engineering, Management, Administration, Procurement, Marketing, Design, Software, Research and Development etc.
The recent statistics say that the requirement for employment in Civil Engineering will grow by 11 percent over the next ten years, faster than the average of all occupations. As India is a fast-developing country, Civil Engineers will play a specific role in executing projects to build, rehabilitate upgrade and upkeep in several domains viz. bridges, roads, railways, dams, airports, buildings, other structures etc., Government jobs in the Civil Engineering sector include Public Works Department (PWD), Railways, Irrigation, State Development Authorities, Electricity Board and in Defence Forces. As per National Skill Development Council (NSDC), road and rail construction projects will require double the manpower. According to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc., Civil Engineering market is expected to reach USD 11.72 trillion by 2025 (Ocean View, Delaware, Oct. 31, 2016-GLOBE NEWSWIRE). In the emerging developments, Airport facilities between the cities and countries are envisaged in a big way. The Indian government will be coming up with 100 airports in the next 15 years at an estimated cost of Rs 4 lakh crore.
The manpower requirement will increase in many folds because of these projects. Some organizations offer high salaries for their new innovation and nature of the projects. The experience in project management, material utilization, asset control and manpower management will enhance the pay band of individuals. For the enterprising minds, by being a Proprietor of an organization, working as a consultant or contractor for government and private projects, working as site engineer, surveyor, project manager, quality control engineer, billing engineer, structure designer etc., can make this profession a lucrative one.
Although, creativity is more often associated with Architects, Civil Engineers definitely have their own unique variety of this characteristic. In fact, creativity takes place in the Civil Engineering world on a daily basis as the profession revolves around versatile projects with unique challenges and requirements with the population growth and environmental changes, technological advancements in the areas such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), Cloud and Mobile Technology, Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, 3D Printing, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Exoskeletons, Autonomous Vehicles, Advanced materials, the Intelligent Built Environment, Machine Learning, Prefabrications, Predictive Analytics, Software and Data Ecosystem, use of GPS, New Scanning Solutions, Timber Constructions, Wearable Technology, Smart Building, Modular Construction, 3D printed Dwellings, Home Analytics, the Civil Engineers will stand tall in the development of the world.
