In addition to being the world’s preeminent sea power, the Navy is also involved in massive civil engineering
projects throughout the world. From city-sized bases to airfields to harbor facilities, the Navy spends billions
of dollars yearly to support its high-tech force of ships, aircraft, support equipment, and personnel.
Job Description:
The Navy counts on civil engineering Officers to make these projects successful. If you have a degree in civil,
mechanical, or electrical engineering or architecture, or are intending to get one, accelerate your life as a
Navy Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) Officer. You will quickly be put in charge of vital Navy projects, overseeing
construction, managing workers, arranging budgets and schedules, and approving completed work.
What Will You Do?
Each year the Navy completes hundreds of construction, renovation, maintenance, and building projects all
over the world. You may find yourself piecing together satellite images to form large image maps of a foreign
town destroyed by an earthquake or flood or providing important information for rescue and rebuilding efforts.
As a Civil Engineer Corps Officer, you may work in any or all of the following areas:
Contract Management:
Be the primary contact between the Navy and contractors. Solicit and manage bids. Supervise construction
and troubleshoot issues.
Public Works: Supervise and maintain utilities at shore facilities. Oversee construction and repair. Manage
budgets and approve public works plans.
Construction Battalions: The legendary ‘Seabees’ support Navy and Marine activities in the field overseas.
Command 400 to 600 enlisted workers in building airfields, bridges, ports, or buildings.
Earn While You Learn
The Navy also encourages and challenges its civil engineers to develop and enhance their skills through
postgraduate work and advanced Navy training. This training can involve advanced engineering training or
financial management. As a Civil Engineer Corps Officer, you’ll have many opportunities to develop your
professional skills through courses offered by the Civil Engineer Corps School and Naval Facilities Contract
Training Center.
Special Pay/Bonuses
Fringe benefits include free and low-cost travel, 30 days paid vacation every year, Officer status, and the use
of Officers’ clubs and recreation facilities.
Skills and Training
The Navy also has programs to help pay for college and hone your skills.
Civil Engineer Collegiate Program:
Earn up to $40,000 during your junior and senior years while pursuing your engineering degree. Also enjoy
many of the benefits of regular Navy personnel. Earn your commission after graduation.
Career Outlook
Construction is one of the economy’s largest industries and has a very large percentage of self-employed
individuals working in high paying jobs. So, whether it’s a promotion in the Navy or taking your skills into the
civilian world, the fundamentals of civil engineering and management you’ll learn as a Navy Officer will be
instrumental in the advancement of your career and your life.
