Associate Director

Civil engineers usually work on projects, building different types of structures, like roads, buildings, tunnels, bridges and other infrastructure. We often work in teams delivering different parts of the project through its lifecycle. Some teams play an important role in determining if the project is needed, how it will benefit the community and how much it will cost, through to producing a design that considers making sure the structure will be safe and suitable for the purpose it is needed (i.e. it benefits the community and it won’t fall down!). Then other teams of civil engineers organise how to build the designs, including finding the best materials, equipment and skills for work teams, making sure everything is done safely, on time, and that the design (which is the instructions) is followed.
