Civil engineers conceive, plan, design, construct, operate and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in public as well as in the private sector.
Civil Engineering can be termed as a broad field encompassing a diverse collection of specializations and projects. The journey from creating living spaces to transforming them into mega structures, tall buildings, resilient communities, smart cities, creating smart buildings, using smart materials etc to name a few will be possible only with a degree in Civil engineering.
The versatility of this branch is not limited to ground. Whether you are working under the ground or above the ground…. Civil Engineering is everywhere
In Government Sector
The versatility of the Civil Engineering branch exists in the fact that it has ample opportunities for all. Equal numbers of opportunities are available for Civil engineers both in government as well as in the private sector. Various fields in government sector offer jobs for civil engineers:Tamil Nadu Municipal Corporations, TWAD, Public Works Department(PWD), , Metro Rail, National Highway Authority of India, Indian Oil Corporation, State Industrial Development Corporation, Public Works Department, Central Public Works Department, Border Roads Organization, Military Engineering Services, Airport Authority of India, Indian Air Force, Railways, Irrigation & Flood control department, Public Health Engineering department, National Hydro-electric Power Corporation, National Thermal Power Corporation, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, Defence Research and Development Organisation, RITES, DRDO, Pollution Control Boards, Building and Construction department of organizations and the list is endless.
Career in Private Sector
In private sector, jobs for Civil Engineers are offered in construction and design. A Civil Engineer with a good knowledge of CAD Software, Finite Element Analysis, and along with other skill-set fits perfectly in an organization..
A large number of Civil Engineers are hired in private sector i.e L&T, Tata Projects Limited, Gammon India, Gammon Infrastructure Projects Limited, Omaxe, Supertech, Shapoorji & Pallonji Group, GMR Group, Infrastructure Lease & Financial Services, Hindustan Construction Company, Afcons Infrastructure Limited, Gammon India Limited, Reliance Infrastructure, Ashoka Buildcon, B L Kashyap & Sons Ltd, Consolidated Construction Consortium Ltd, Essar Group, IRCON International Ltd, Jaypee Group, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd, National Building Construction Corporation Limited, Punj Lloyd etc to name a few.
Civil Engineers thus play a pivotal role in shaping the economy of a country. A Civil Engineer has an upper edge over engineers from other branches as they have equal opportunities in government as well as in the private sector. They can start their own ventures of consulting or construction at career commencement or after gaining a few years of professional experience.
The Department of Civil Engineering has incepted in Bethlahem Institute of Engineering in 2011 and has grown into a full-fledged department with specializations in all the major areas of Civil Engineering. The departmental activities embrace Planning, Design, Construction and Management. Our department provides theoretical education along with practical education through various labs. We pay special attention to impart technical education in socially and educationally to the knowledge seekers of the department. The department of civil engineering with its multifaceted faculty continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links with the building and construction industry and academic and research institution. Besides high quality teaching and instruction at both UG and PG level, the department is actively involved in basic and applied research and consultancy and provides high quality technical and advisory support to various organizations
