The main
objective of civil engineers is to plan, design, build, operate and maintain
roads, bridges, dams, water supply schemes, sewerage systems, transportation,
harbors, canals, dockyards, airports, railways, factories and large buildings.
Civil engineers
generally render their jobs in the following sectors - structural, water
resources, soil and foundation, transport, airport, town planning or
construction.
Duties of an airport engineer:
a) Having expertize in producing designs for airports, hangars and
control towers
b) Administers the construction, maintenance and repair of runways, considering the factors like weight, size and speed of aircraft
c. If any technical issue arises throughout construction, guides contractors to solve the issue

Duties of a geotechnical/soil engineer:
a. Examines projected construction sites to determine the
conditions of soil and foundation with by initiating drilling and sampling
programs
b. Monitors and takes part in job site and laboratory testing of soils, and ensures that test equipment and machinery is arranged perfectly
c. Creates reports of test results and suggests proposals for providing the solution to engineering issues given in test reports
d. Creates specifications of soil mixtures which can be utilized in roads, embankments and other construction, and measures and provides suggestions on the required slope at cuttings and the density of soil dams and retaining walls.
