Professional outings
A Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Seville leads to the regulated profession of Civil Engineering Technician in one of the following three specializations: Civil Construction; Hydrology; or Transportation and Urban Services.
The training you acquire will allow you to work on the technical teams of private companies or public institutions, as well as design and develop all types of civil works and construction projects using advanced technologies.
You will be able to work in construction, design, and infrastructure management companies, engineering consultancies, construction materials and quality control companies, energy production companies, and service maintenance and operation companies.
Technology transfer, development and innovation, public or private centers, and innovation and development departments of large companies are other options.
You can also practice independently by creating your own engineering firm to calculate and design structures and buildings, manage and inspect construction projects, perform quality control, conduct studies and projects, manage public works machinery and construction materials, carry out expert reports, implement risk prevention measures, act as an advisor or consultant, and more.
You can create your own company to develop and market construction products and technologies, carry out construction projects, etc.
Finally, you can choose a career in the Public Administration: as a civil servant or employee of the European Union, or of the national, regional, or local government, or you can pursue teaching.
The professional profiles specific to Civil Engineering range from communication and transportation infrastructure to building construction, including ports and coastal areas, hydraulics and energy, urban planning, and land management. Among the characteristic professional activities of Civil Engineering, the following stand out:
- In the section on communication and transport routes: Roads, motorways, tunnels, transport interchanges, railway lines, passenger and freight stations, gas pipelines and funiculars.
- In the area of ports and coasts: All types of ports, breakwaters, docking piers, anchorage facilities, waterways, dry docks, lighthouses, and even the creation and conservation of beaches and studies of waves, currents or environmental impact.
- In the area of hydraulics and energy: Dams and reservoirs, aqueducts, surface and underground water intakes, drinking water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, desalination plants, supply and sewage networks, irrigation infrastructure, discharges into watercourses, hydroelectric, thermal and nuclear power plants, both in the execution of a project and in its construction or repair.
- In the field of urban planning, land management and the environment: Street paving projects, waste collection and treatment (urban, industrial and even hazardous waste), general and partial urban planning plans and environmental impact studies.
- In the building sector: All types of foundations, structures (reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel), design and construction of silos, parking garages, hospitals, stadiums, sports fields, and multi-sports complexes. Also, the design and management of the manufacturing of construction materials, studies related to soil and rock mechanics, ground impermeability and resistance, and the environmental impact of construction projects.
