Diploma of Civil Construction Design

Diploma of Civil Construction Design provides students with in-depth expertise in planning, designing, and managing civil construction initiatives. This program is crafted to address the increasing need for skilled civil design professionals who excel in both technical knowledge and leadership across various infrastructure domains such as road design, structural engineering (steel and concrete), drainage systems, and geotechnical engineering.

• Aspiring civil designers, draftspersons, and engineers.
• Engineering technicians seeking to upskill with hands-on CAD, mathematics, and structural design capabilities.
• Professionals looking to enter supervisory or project design roles in the civil construction industry.

• Interpret and develop civil engineering drawings using CAD and BIM
• Apply mathematical and mechanical engineering principles in civil construction projects
• Design concrete, steel, geotechnical, and drainage structures using industry standards
• Plan and manage project timelines, resources, and team activities

Graduates may work in roles such as:

• Civil Engineer Draftsperson
• Civil Engineering Technician
• Design Coordinator
• Project Officer (Design)
• CAD/BIM Technician
• Road Design Technician

This qualification is also a strong pathway toward higher-level studies such as the Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design (RII60520) or bachelor-level engineering qualifications. To know more how this diploma can be a stepping-stone to further studies, visit Engineers Australia.
