A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using the Civil Engineer assessment.

What does the full assessment tell you?

This template combines multiple-choice questions in Numerical Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, AutoCAD. It brings together evidence about technical reasoning, accuracy and practical judgement, giving you areas to explore when checking a production handover against the work specification.

How can you use the results?

Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on checking a production handover against the work specification to explore practical application. Ask how they would check the specification, investigate a discrepancy and document the handover.

Which results matter for your vacancy?

  • Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.
  • Spatial ReasoningExplore how they interpret shapes, positions and orientation.
  • Mechanical ReasoningFollow up on how they explain forces, movement and mechanical relationships.
  • AutoCADExplore drawing structure, dimensions and how they would check a change against a brief.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Can I tailor this assessment to my Civil Engineer vacancy?

Yes. Start with Numerical Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, AutoCAD, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Numerical Reasoning to explore tables & charts. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.

Does this assess practical Civil Engineer work?

Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Numerical Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, AutoCAD online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on checking a production handover against the work specification to explore application alongside the test results.

Why is Numerical Reasoning included?

Shows how candidates read figures, tables and percentages, and what they conclude from them. Ask them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.

How long does this Civil Engineer assessment take?

The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 40 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.

Will I see a separate result for each test?

Yes. Review Numerical Reasoning, Spatial Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, AutoCAD separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.

Can I try this assessment with real candidates for free?
