Where a civil engineering technician can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a civil engineering technician already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Civil engineering technicians help design and execute construction plans and take on organisational tasks, for example in the planning and monitoring, and in bidding and invoicing of construction work. They also calculate material requirements, and help with the purchasing and organising, and ensure the quality of the construction materials. Civil engineering technicians may perform technical tasks in civil engineering and develop and advise on policy implementing strategies for road works, traffic lights, sewerage and water management systems.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a civil engineering technician already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
