Almost all the construction you see around, roads, airports, buildings or bridges, is because of engineers. They play a pivotal role in developing a nation and its infrastructure. But with great roles also come great responsibilities. Almost every civil engineer has a tight schedule to maintain and works for long hours.
But apart from their hectic schedule, civil engineers also face other obstacles peculiar to their domain. This blog will delve into them to prepare you if you want a career in this field.
The biggest challenge civil engineers face is the concern for their health and safety. There are many potential dangers on construction sites that can lead to accidents. Hence, it's no surprise that this industry has one of the highest rates of injuries. Some even lose their lives while on the job.
Different jurisdictions have laid out different rules for the safety of civil engineers. These rules must be adhered to at all times. Similarly, they must never compromise on the necessary protective equipment to prevent serious injuries.
Construction is not a one-person job; it takes many people to complete a project successfully. Since a civil engineer leads all activities at the construction site, he must ensure compliance with the regulations laid out by government and regulatory bodies. If any of his workers flout the rules, he will be held accountable.
Moreover, the rules and regulations change with time, and engineers have to keep themselves updated with the latest developments. Further, there are other considerations and compliances to meet when a third party is involved in the construction work. A civil engineer has to be mindful of all these facts, making their job challenging.
Since construction is an outdoor job, the environment poses hazards for timely project completion. Extreme weather like heavy rainfall, snowfall and heatwaves halt projects. As such, it becomes challenging for engineers to meet their deadlines. At times, the construction site has to be shut down because of the safety concerns brought about by natural disasters. A civil engineer has to make such unexpected pauses a part of his routine.
During a project, many contractual disputes can arise. These can be related to work variations, onsite property damage and problems with craftsmanship. Handling such disputes also forms a part of the job of civil engineers.
On top of that, many third parties are involved in a project - electricians, plumbers, raw material suppliers, painters, etc. A civil engineer has to manage all of them and get the required job done.
Here are some other issues you need to be prepared to deal with if you want to become a civil engineer in India.
