Civil Engineer is not that one who just looks after the construction work but the one who makes dreams come true.
Simply, we can call engineer the god who builds other’s dreams, this line may be controversial but just look at these biggest and the incredible construction works all around the world.
As being a good scientist you have to with your original ideas but to be a good engineer you need to makes a design that works with a few ideas as possible.
Although civil engineers have lots of scopes you may go for as a surveyor, as a site engineer, in the construction sector, in planning & designing and much more.
As an engineer, you gave shape with perfection to the works so for every filed the engineers are required.
Some fields where Scope of civil engineering are as follows:
A) Civil Engineer as Project Manager or Assistant Project Manager
Different NGOs and private companies related to construction seek engineers as there project manager or as an assistant project manager. In different construction projects civil engineers heads. So, in a developing country like us, there is a lot of possibilities and scope for civil engineer.
B) Civil Engineer as a Site Engineer
In Civil Engineering works, the site engineer is mostly required to conduct the work as per guidelines. And also to maintain the quality of works the civil engineers are seeking as a site engineer.

It a great channel for companies to maintain the quality and deliver it in fixed time so civil engineers are used as quality control executives. Also in tender works, whether that particular company works according to the requirement or not to check it quality control officer is required.

So, in construction filed the demand of civil engineers is high. Also, engineers are the backbone of construction no works can be better without engineer’s suggestion because after completing civil engineers much technical knowledge as an engineer you gains which are helpful in the construction field.
