An entry-level civil engineer acts as somewhat of an assistant to more experienced engineers. Your main goal in this position is to learn as much as you can from your superiors and slowly prove yourself. Tasks you can expect include doing research, surveying sites, drafting blueprints, creating budgets, etc. You may complete some of these tasks in the office and some may require you to be out in the field.
Civil engineers will need an engineering degree but may also need certifications and/or licenses before they can work. Find out the requirements in your state or country and make sure you are eligible to work before you begin your job search. Here is a strong resume sample.
