EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, recently announced the launch of CivilEngineeringCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site family, CivilEngineeringCrossing seeks to list every civil engineering job in the United States in one convenient location. Using proprietary technology, CivilEngineeringCrossing monitors the civil engineering job postings on other job websites and from other sources, and displays every civil engineering job it can find. CivilEngineeringCrossing’s goal is nothing less than to show job seekers every civil engineering job available.

Pasadena, CA — Civil engineering, one of the world’s oldest engineering disciplines, has many important subspecialties. The major fields within this all-encompassing discipline are structural, water resources, construction, environmental, transportation, and geotechnical engineering. There are many supervisory and administrative positions available in this industry, depending upon the qualifications and experience of the given job seeker.

Finding a job as a civil engineer is, however, a Herculean task for many. CivilEngineeringCrossing (www.civilengineeringcrossing.com), which was recently launched by EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com), aims to list all types of civil engineering jobs, as well as to provide details on career advancement opportunities and employment information related to the industry. Civil engineering jobs are predicted to increase by a whopping 18% from 2006 to 2016, according to a report by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Thanks to rapid population growth of late, civil engineers are needed in great numbers to improve the country’s infrastructure, expand transportation routes, regulate water supplies, and increase pollution control systems. Employment opportunities will vary, however, by geographic area, and might even decrease during economic downturns.

''In this market, it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,'' says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of CivilEngineeringCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.''

CivilEngineeringCrossing was launched to help civil engineers sort out the opportunities that they might not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on civil engineering jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far have been:

• civil engineering jobs
• jobs in civil engineering
• civil engineering technician jobs
• civil engineer job
• civil engineer job description
• entry level civil engineering jobs
• civil engineering job description
• civil engineering job outlook
• jobs for civil engineer
• civil engineering job openings
• civil engineering technology jobs
• civil engineer job outlook
• civil engineering jobs in Dubai
• civil engineering job opportunities

''There is an astonishing number of civil engineering job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' Barnes says.

CivilEngineeringCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, CivilEngineeringCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
