Am I a civil or infrastructure engineer?

If you’re recently working in a role which allows you to demonstrate your technical knowledge and understanding against engineering fundamentals that act as the foundations of civil engineering (for example structures, materials, hydraulics or geotechnics) then you should apply to become an Engineering Technician, Incorporated Civil Engineer or Chartered Civil Engineer.

If you’re working in an infrastructure role where the principal engineering fundamentals you are applying are not core civil engineering, (for example process, chemical, mechanical, digital, electrical and electronics engineering), then you should consider an application to become an Infrastructure Engineering Technician, Incorporated Infrastructure Engineer or Chartered Infrastructure Engineer.
