civil engineering technician

Civil engineering technicians help design and execute construction plans and take on organisational tasks, for example in the planning and monitoring, and in bidding and invoicing of construction work. They also calculate material requirements, and help with the purchasing and organising, and ensure the quality of the construction materials.

The most in-demand skills for this role include engineering principles, technical drawings, building codes, engineering processes, civil engineering, construction methods. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives civil engineering technician a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
