What is a Civil Designer?

Going though some job applications for my first job out of college. I mostly have experience in Transportation. I came upon this application that had the title of "Civil Designer". Ive seen roadway engineer but not Civil Designer. What do Civil Designers do? ( The job description is very vague).

Titles don't always have standard meaning across the industry. Civil Designer sounds akin to Project Engineer which is another meaningless title for entry-level engineers. It could be worse, I've seen entry level architects with the title Architect-In-Training. appvalley tutuapp tweakbox

It can be a wide range. Generally it’s a drafter or CAD technician who is experienced and relied on to make design decisions. Depending on the role and their capabilities they could practically be an engineer but does not have at least a BSCE or their PE.

Thanks!
