MarinLe, yeah I can't weigh in on that personally, but I would definitely say your question is within the scope of the thread. Hopefully someone would be able to offer some insight on that.
I did some looking into the BLS data by industry.
As of May 2014, some industries which pay Civil Engineers the most:
Oil and Gas Extraction - $126,830 (560)
Aerospace Product and Parts Manufacturing - $104,230 (480)
Waste Treatment and Disposal - $102,380 (580)
Pipeline Transportation -...
Based on the numbers, for people with over 10 years experience, it appears that the five top paying positions are
*Principal Structural Engineer = $121,948
Senior Structural Engineer = $94,041
Engineering Project Manager = $93,285
Senior Geotechnical Engineer = $92,151
Senior Environmental...
Just some more info. I started out looking on BLS which has "Civil Engineers" with a median pay of $79,340, which to me is useless information since it seems most (or all) Civil Engineers work in some discipline or another, and this number lumps together all experience-levels.
So far I've...
Based on industry or discipline, where's the most(or least) money at in Civil Engineering?
In other words, for people who are roughly at the same points in their career, who's likely to be earning more money? I'm specifically asking about construction, structural, transportation, geotechnical...
I'm curious if any land development engineers out there use structural engineering at all? Its commonly said that land development engineers are the "jack-of-all-trades" but what I've found so far in the industry without exception, even among people with 30+ years experience, is...
Just to clarify, essentially what I had in mind was on-the-ground experience with grading, E&S control, pavement construction, and utility/SWM installations. I would imagine, even if its a big project, by virtue of disturbing ground, there will be requirements to install storm, E&S control, and...
Okay thanks a lot guys.
I just have a follow up.
I'm hoping to get a little bit more detail on duties for a construction engineer as distinct from a construction PM.
The reason I ask is even though "construction engineering" has its own wikipedia page, when I search for "Construction...
Hi, I'm an EIT with a little short of 4 years experience. One of the biggest things that irks me as an up-and-coming professional is that I don't have a solid grasp of construction methods or practices.
On many occasions through my short career, I've gotten QC markups on my plan regarding...
