CE ORIENTATION REVIEWER (3rd Exam) A Civil Engineer is someone who is engaged CIVIL ENGINEERING JOBS in the field of engineering specializing on the 1. General Civil Engineer – This is the basic construction of buildings and structures for the Civil Engineer one can design, investigate, benefit of humankind as well as controlling or anything but they are the lowest class of nature to their hands. Civil Engineer and needs specialization to be promoted or to have a clear view of their It comes in 4 major careers: careers. 1. Construction 3. Investigation 2. Management 4. Research In the Philippines, we have our general community which can help us, which is In the Construction CAREER the PICE or Philippine Institute of Civil These are jobs in which a Civil Engineer Engineers in which you can associate is tasked to design structures as well as with them for your future careers or to be foundations and everything that meets the part of DPWH (Department of Public Works eye. and Highways). In the Management CAREER 2. Structural Engineer – This is a Civil These are jobs in which a Civil Engineer Engineer that focuses on the design of is tasked to operate the construction site as huge towering structures, they are the most well as the logistics and estimations that are abundant engineers as on every needed for its outcome but take note that phase of the construction there is different Construction and Management careers might structural engineers assigned to it. intersect but are different in nature. Note: the Philippines has their own In the Investigation CAREER community which is ASEP or the These are Civil Engineers assigned to Association of Structural Engineers of investigate natural phenomena in which is the Philippines. used by the Design engineers when designing a structure as well as investigating if the Other International communities that are structure is still safe for habitation after a known are: disaster. ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers; founded in 1852, is the In the Research CAREER country's oldest national engineering These are Civil Engineers assigned to organization. It represents more than research usually found in universities in which 160,000 civil engineers in private practice, they are conducting lectures as well as tapped government, industry, and academia who by other career fields in case there is a need are dedicated to advancing the science to improve the science to make the impossible and profession of civil engineering. – possible. AISC – American institute of Steel Noted that you need to be very careful when Construction, this is the organization choosing a career as it might be the thing that responsible for setting the standards for all will designate on what will happen to you in the member countries for steel future. construction even our Code which is NSCP (National Structural Code of the Philippines) is also based on this. CE ORIENTATION REVIEWER (3rd Exam) ACI – American Concrete Institute, this Known Organizations: is an organization that is responsible ITE – Institute of Transportation for the standards for Reinforced Concrete Engineers; is an international educational Structures. and scientific association of transportation professionals who are responsible ASTM – American Society for Testing for meeting mobility and safety needs. and Materials; This is an organization that is responsible to check if the standard 5. Water Resources Engineers – Civil of the material is quality or subpar Engineers that are tasked to design and in which is the basis for design engineers. create infrastructures for water supply and control in the city as well as flood control 3. Geotechnical Engineers – These are systems. engineers that are responsible for investigating the soil properties, tunnel Known Organizations: making, shallow foundation design, American Water Resource Association and soil stabilization. (AWRA) - is the preeminent multidisciplinary association for information Known Organizations: exchange, professional development and International Society for Soil Mechanics education about water resources and and Geotechnical Engineering related issues. (ISSMGE) – an international professional association, presently based in London, 6. Environmental Engineers – Civil representing engineers, academics and Engineers that are conservative towards contractors involved in geotechnical the maintenance of natural environment in engineering. It is a federation of 90 hand with Infrastructure problems as member societies representing 91 they always assess if the location of countries around the world, which together construction may affect ecosystems. give it a total of some 21,000 individual members. Known Organizations: DENR – Department of Environment and The Association of Geotechnical Natural Resources – A Philippine state Societies in Southeast Asia (AGSSEA) – department focused on the task of securing A prominent community of Geotechnical natural ecosystems responsible for the Engineers in the Southeast Asia Region mobilization of environmental engineers if noted that Geotechnical Engineering is still needed. fairly new. The Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS) is the SEEP – Society of Environmental generalized society of geotechnical Engineers in the Philippines - A engineers in the region. Philippine community of civil engineers that is regulated by the government and DENR 4. Transportation Engineers – A Civil for environmental studies. Engineers that specialized in the construction of roads, highways, railways, 7. Energy Engineers - develop solutions for ports, airfields, they also conduct improving energy consumption and use. traffic studies to address the growing Through research, design, documentation, logistical needs of a city as well as they and construction they implement green are also present in City Planning. solutions, cutting down environmental impact and cost. CE ORIENTATION REVIEWER (3rd Exam) NOTE: This is the newest branch of Civil AUXILIARY CIVIL ENGINEERING Engineering one such feats are still being CAREERS researched, established in 2016 but 1. Quantity Surveyor – These are Civil became official in 2019. Engineers in which specialize on estimating the cost of the construction as CIVIL ENGINEERING well as computing the labor needs CERTIFICATION/EXAMS as well as estimate potential calamities that Now you question how to develop and may affect the construction become those types of Engineers and policies. what are their requirements? 2. Quality Assurance Engineer – These are Let us label it one by one that is based by Civil Engineers that specialize on known experience investigation of a structure that is currently being built to check if it is up to Structural Engineer code and is standard. - Must be a graduate of MS in Civil Engineering Major in Structural 3.
