Civil engineers perform engineering duties in planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of buildings and facilities. Civil engineers require several years of work-related experience, on-the-job training, and/or vocational training. They earn approximately $41.65 an hour, and the need for such workers typically grows at a faster than average rate, from about 10% to 14% per year. Positions related to civil engineers include transportation engineers, environmental engineers, fire-prevention and protection engineers, mining and geological engineers, and energy engineers.
