At the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the engineering workforce is intentionally broad because the mission set spans civil works, military construction, emergency response, and environmental stewardship. Below is an overview of the primary engineering disciplines you will find across districts, centers, and labs within USACE.

Taken together, USACE engineers form a multidisciplinary team that supports national security, infrastructure, military readiness, public safety, and environmental protection at a scale few organizations match.

USACE role

Project Engineers and Engineering Project Managers integrate engineering, contracting, cost, schedule, and stakeholders to deliver complex projects. Many engineers transition into project delivery roles. They serve as the single point of accountability for complex projects.

 

In civilian organizations

Similar roles exist as project managers, owners’ representatives, or program managers overseeing infrastructure delivery from concept through construction.
