Graduate employment

Graduates of this study program will find employment in many professions in engineering and civil engineering. As a designer and assistant designer, they can design simpler engineering structures and transport structures as well as load-bearing structures for civil engineering structures. As a foreman, assistant site manager, and, after training, as a site manager, they can oversee the construction of various engineering and civil engineering structures.

Graduates of this study program will find employment in state administration, local government, environmental agencies, and organizations involved in the management of engineering structures and transport infrastructure. They may also engage in business activities based on a trade license in the field of construction and the design of simple structures.

Professions: construction supervision assistant, assistant site manager, small building designer, simple building designer, site manager, construction supervisor, construction technician
