A municipal engineer is a professional engineer who focuses on the design and management of infrastructure projects that serve municipalities. This can include infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water treatment plants, sewer systems, and other public works projects. Municipal engineers may work for local governments, consulting firms, or public utilities and are responsible for ensuring that infrastructure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and within budget. They also play a key role in addressing issues such as urban sprawl, environmental concerns, and community development.
