Civil Engineering Will Be Hot Over the Next Few Years
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov), the Civil Engineering profession is expected to grow over 25% over the next decade. Our nation’s infrastructure (energy grid, roads, bridges, water treatment systems, mass transit including airports, levees and dams) is falling apart and poses a threat to our safety and economy. Government officials, desperate to create jobs, are focusing harder on ways to fix and upgrade the infrastructure. In this series of posts we will cover the areas of civil engineering where we see present and future growth.
Here are the Up And Coming Areas of Civil Engineering we will cover over our series of posts.
- Ports, Harbors & Off Shore Facilities
- Storm Water & flood Mitigation
- Dams & Levees
- Power Grid & Pipeline Infrastructure
- Transportation
- Drinking & Wastewater Infrastructure
Why You Will Benefit From These Posts
The main reason job seekers will benefit from reading these posts is that large scale and long term civil engineering projects tend to create additional local jobs in their “ripple effect”. For example: The metro Atlanta area is voting on a $6 billion transportation bill to alleviate its major congestion problems. Projects like these could produce hundred or thousands of jobs in the following indusries:
- Construction & labor Staffing
- Construction equipment
- Concrete/asphalt & aggregate
- Restaurants & food stores (These people do eat lunch)
