Councils employ different types of engineers to work on different aspects of building, the environment and water. Civil Engineers design roads and other urban structures for council and may oversee the construction work too. Structural Engineers design building works for council and may also oversee construction work. Environmental engineers design structures to drain water, to recharge groundwater or prevent erosion.
