Overview

The general training in science and technology offered by a Civil Engineering degree provides an ideal basis for a career in modern society. In addition to the direct employment in one of the many specialities of Civil Engineering, many related careers are possible. As the ADF become progressively more technologically-based, the education provided in a Civil Engineering degree will be in greater demand.

Civil Engineering in an ADF career

Graduates in Civil Engineering can take responsibility for the design and construction of infrastructure, base facilities and field engineering associated with ADF projects and military activities. Environmental management plays a major part in these projects. Civil Engineers in the ADF are also involved with development and peacekeeping activities in the South Pacific and elsewhere in the world.

Most Army graduates will join the Royal Australian Engineers (RAE) which is a very challenging career. As well as providing infrastructure within Australian borders, much of your early career is spent in overseas deployments. Army Civil Engineers have played key roles in East Timor, Iraq, Solomon Islands, Indonesia – in fact anywhere Australia is engaged in conflict, peacekeeping or disaster recovery, RAE’s Civil Engineers are there supplying clean water, constructing accommodation, building airfields, restoring harbours, improving defence against nuclear, biological and chemical attacks.

Air Force Civil Engineers play a major role in managing the infrastructure of the Air Force. The projects they are responsible for could be of a specialised engineering nature (aircraft pavements, hangars, hospitals and pollution control) or they could be responsible for management of whole facilities.
