Stress can often be a regular part of the day-to-day work experience as a civil engineer, but what's important is how you manage it. Talk to the interviewer about which areas of your career are the most stressful. Ensure that your answer does not include a factor that would make you appear unfit for the position. So, if you are applying for a position as a structural engineer, don't tell the interviewer that designing steel beams makes you nervous.
"The thing that brings me the most stress is when the schedule is running behind due to lack of hustle on my team's part. I really like to be on time with my schedule to ensure that my clients are assisted properly. When I know we're running behind, I find it helps to go directly to my team and ask them for a little extra push to get us across the finish line."
