Civil Construction, Resources and Infrastructure

Civil construction involves building things that a community needs, like roads, hospitals, waterways and airports. Daily activities include carrying out manual excavations, spreading and compacting materials, basic levelling, repairing potholes and putting traffic management plans in place. You need to enjoy working outdoors, be fit, and have great communication and problem-solving skills. A driver’s licence is usually required.
