Engineering can include a wide range of fields, including chemical, civil, commercial, diagnostic, forensic, geotechnical, hydraulic, industrial, mechanical, residential, structural and pavement. Generally, engineering is about the physics involved in building structures. The licensed, insured and registered professional engineers make sure that your building, bridge or dam remains intact and completes the functions for which it was designed. If you have a large building development, you might want to hire a professional engineer to oversee the entire project.

Civil engineers are the ones who are in charge of the large Australian construction projects: airports, bridges, dams, ports, roads and stormwater drains. This structural engineering involves calculating weight bearing loads to insure that glass, wood, plastic, concrete and steel construction materials create a safe, strong and stable structure.

Support personnel include engineer consultants, surveyors, interior designers, draftsmen and architects. This engineering field requires creative, dynamic and practical thinking. When a new town is being built, it requires town planning, surveying, mapping, land titling, computer aided drafting and design services. Multidisciplinary surveying consultancy can help you measure the environment to get an accurate picture of distances, grades and elevations. Building development require assessment and approval by government officials.

The professional engineering practice can work in urban or rural communities. Rural cadastral surveying and land titling is likely to involve wide open spaces. Urban development specialists might be more experienced with zoning, pavement and sewer systems. Professional civil engineers might also be called upon to inspect old bridges and dams to determine if they are still structurally sound.

Environmental engineering will involve the creation of liveable communities. Controlling runoff can be a key element of environmental sustainable development management projects. Some construction firms might hire environmental engineers to assist with controlling wastewater.

Engineers might be members of the Environmental Institute of Australia and New Zealand, Institute of Professional Engineers Australia, Housing Industry Association, Association of Consulting Structural Engineers, Building Designers Australia, Planning Institute of Australia, Institution of Engineers Australia, Consult Australia, Engineers Australia, Urban Development Institute Australia, Concrete Institute of Australia and Institution of Surveyors. Engineering degrees might include the Bachelor of Environmental Planning, Bachelor of Engineering (Civil), Masters of Physics, Masters of Urban Planning or Degree in Science Australian Environmental Studies. You could also look for those with expertise in the Energex/Ergon/NBN/Telstra requirement, along with the ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard. OnSiteDetention (OSD) and Floodstudy are specialised skills.
