My Work
I am a Civil Engineer working to improve dams and pipes
-
My Typical Day: I mostly work on the computer looking at different types of maps to see where problems might be with pipes . Often I have to write reports on how the problems should be fixed. Sometimes I get to go out to look at building sites to find ways to fix problems that have been found unexpectedly.
