Where Can I Gain Experience In Civil Engineering by aysnoopy(m): 5:24pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
I saw a post earlier about someone seeking for advice on where to get experience in electrical engineering which inspire me to ask about civil engineering too. I'm a graduate with HND cert 6 years ago. My current job is not really what I want and I'm not gaining any experience. Please, where can I gain and how can I get a place to gain experience 2 Likes 1 Share |

They say in order to gain experience in civil engineering, you must learn to sell yourself off as a slave. Basically going from site to site doing free labor under the sun to acquire the much eulogized experience. Also be prepared to receive insults and yelling from resident engineers. Right now na just name wey civil engineering get for this country. That course seems like the fastest way into a life of hardship and extreme stress. Why not grow in your current place of work, unless of course you’re one of those engineers that relish the stress and hardship. 11 Likes |

Send a DM to the WhatsApp number in the signature if you're residing in Lagos. I can recommend you to a Construction Firm, they currently need interns and it's paid internship. Though the remuneration might not be much but you'd definitely gain relevant experience. Cheers!! 13 Likes |

Is this the same Civil Engineering that they don't even have staff for in some states? Is it the same Civil Engineering that they don't have lecturers for in some Universities? |

Find any reputable civil company (e.g julius Berger) constructing on d road. Wear full protective apparel. Go with yr camera nd Seek clearance to come closer to their site frm d work group leader. Tell Dem yu want to learn. Yu can buy cold drinks for d men. It would go a long way in formalizing with them. If you don't still understand operations, calculations n machines dey use. Go to youtube 5 Likes |

Since 6years has passed and you don’t have any practical experience, Learn as much civil engineering software you can Prota structure Revit structure Staadpro Etab Prokon Follow construction channels on YouTube, Learn basic things such as setting out, mix ratios, alignment etc Look around you, you will find some “construprenuers” (individuals that doing great in the industry, we have some of them here on nairaland eg skimaski etc) and attach yourself with them even tho it’s unpaid internship Be careful of people that says you should learn or attach yourself with a bricklayer, civil engineering is not electrical engineering o, unless you want to restrict yourself to bungalows and 2 storeys. I have had first time experience of terrible things bricklayers do for clients on site 7 Likes 1 Share |

It depends on your areas of specialization. If it's highway, locate a construction company I will recommend setraco for you. Make sure you work in the lab and be willing to learn. Be humble enough, most people teaching you are not civil engineers but have gain practical experience on the field. Learn concrete, soil and asphalt . If you get this three right you can supervise project and you will be sort after. Note the will assign you to one of the above mentioned but be Wise and humble to learn the other two 3 Likes |
