Civil Engineering Jobs

Welcome to our Civil Engineering Jobs site. The purpose of this site is to provide a frequently updated list of current open positions for the civil engineer. Our focus is on civil engineering jobs which are available in the United States. Our list of jobs consists of a page for each state, and each page combines the results from several job search engines. Our paradigm is similar to the meta-search engines like Dogpile, except here we combine the results from job search engines as opposed to regular search engines.

If you own a job search engine and you provide an RSS feed for your search result, and you desire to have your listing of jobs on our pages, contact us by going to our “About” page, and we will include your job listing for each page.

Here we also provide to the civil engineer informative articles, useful statistics, videos, a selection of relevant books, and current civil engineer career news. The civil engineer jobs listed here are in the form of RSS feeds, and will be automatically updated when new jobs become available. This site is produced by IntellegoJobs, a division of Intellego Web Publishing.
