⋙ Unit Group 2332

Geotechnical engineers come in Civil Engineering Unit Group 2332 and are responsible for the planning, design, and oversight of a wide range of projects, including dams, bridges, pipelines, water, and gas supply systems, sewage systems, airports, and other geotechnical engineering projects. They often manage large construction projects and analyze the behavior and durability of various materials. Structural engineers, on the other hand, focus on the behavior of soil and rock under the pressure of planned structures and design structural foundations. They also play a role in transportation network planning and budgeting for projects.

Skill Level Required

This unit group includes occupations that typically require a bachelor’s degree or higher for proficiency. However, in some cases, an individual with at least five years of relevant experience and vendor certification may be considered qualified without a formal degree. In some instances, formal qualifications and additional on-the-job training or experience may be necessary to meet the requirements for these occupations, which are classified as ANZSCO Skill Level 1.
