To become good civil engineer knowledge about concerned subject & should have quick response to difficulties. Experience in handling the situstion. Good practical and field experience, only theoretical knowledge will not enough to become a good Civil Engineer. Till you don't go in the field/site you'll not know the actual problems faced. As far as possible try to gain as much knowledge as you can which will be helpful in the field/site & in turn you can solve the problem without any difficulty/delay. It's very important to deal manpower, material & Money civil engineering mantra (MMM).

For becoming a successful civil engineer you must be well versed with the job you do. Field experience is inevitable as far as a civil engg is concerned. We must clearly understand what we are doing and why we are doing it.

There is one Mantra, and if you follow it, you will become a successful Engineer......

"Know why you are doing what you are doing"

This means that do not do things by rote, learn the reason(s) for a doing a particular activity in a particular way, then apply your mind and debate if it is the best way of doing it or are there better ways. Always be inquisitive, search for and enhance your knowledge and experience.

To begin with I quote my PG guide Dr. Talwar of MBM who used to say that to become a good civil engineer you must be able to work like a donkey. Well by saying donkey he meant only the hard working part of it.

I think that following characteristics are may make somebody a good civil engineer: 

Practical: He must be a very practical individual when it comes to attacking a problem

Good communicator: Communicating in such a manner so that the listener can understand exactly what you want to communicate is more important than using the correct grammar and syntax.

Updated: He needs to keep himself update with new technologies and management techniques coming up

Cost Conscious: An eye over the cost is a must

Planner: Need no explaination why he needs it

All this and may be more but in short his head should be able to rotate 360 degrees so as to have a greater purview.
