Civil Engineer: engineering and management
IntroductionThe biggest piece of advice i can give is don't make assumptions. Get all the facts before making decisions. When performing calculations, remember the quote "measure twice and cut once"
Job FunctionWhat i like most about being a civil engineer is managing projects from start through completion but its frustrating not to have full control over the entire program at times.
