Duties and Responsibilities
As
a Design Engineer, you will play a vital role in the planning, designing, and
implementing water infrastructure projects. You will ensure the efficient and
sustainable management of water resources, including treatment, distribution,
and wastewater systems. This position requires a blend of technical expertise,
project management skills, and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
Project Planning and Design: Collaborate with clients, government agencies,
and stakeholders to identify project objectives and requirements. Develop
detailed engineering designs for water supply, treatment, distribution, and
wastewater systems.
Hydraulic Analysis and Modelling: Utilize hydraulic modelling software to simulate
water flow, pressure, and distribution networks. Analyse to optimise system
performance, identify potential issues, and recommend solutions.
Water and Irrigation Infrastructure Design: Lead the design and development of water
infrastructure projects, including water supply systems, wastewater treatment
plants, stormwater management facilities, and hydraulic structures.
Pumping and Distribution Systems: Design pumping stations, pipelines, and distribution networks to efficiently convey and distribute potable water and wastewater.
Stormwater Management: Develop sustainable solutions, such as green
infrastructure, detention ponds, and permeable pavements, to mitigate runoff
and reduce the risk of urban flooding.
Environmental Impact Assessment: Conduct environmental impact assessments (EIAs)
and feasibility studies to evaluate the potential ecological effects of water
projects and identify mitigation measures.
Regulatory Compliance: Stay abreast of local, state, and federal
regulations about water quality, environmental protection, and public health.
Ensure that projects adhere to regulatory standards and obtain necessary
permits and approvals.
Construction Oversight: Provide technical oversight during the construction
phase of projects. Collaborate with contractors to ensure that designs are
implemented accurately and efficiently. Address any issues or challenges that
arise during construction.
Water Quality Management: Develop strategies for monitoring and
maintaining water quality throughout the distribution system. Implement
measures to address contamination risks and ensure compliance with water
quality standards.
Sustainability and Resource Management: Identify water conservation, reuse, and efficiency
improvement opportunities. Integrate sustainable practices into project designs
to minimise environmental impact and enhance resource resilience.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Assess potential risks to water infrastructure,
such as floods, droughts, and infrastructure failures. Develop risk management
plans and mitigation strategies to enhance system resilience and reliability.
Community Engagement: Engage with community members and stakeholders
to gather input, address concerns, and build support for water projects.
Communicate project objectives, benefits, and impacts effectively to diverse
audiences.
Requirements
Hard
skills and experience:
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental
Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred. Masters will be an
added advantage.
Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.
5+ years of experience in water engineering or a
related field.
Proficiency in hydraulic modelling software such as
WaterGEMs, SewerGEMs, EPANET, WaterCAD, and HEC-RAS.
Strong understanding of water treatment processes,
distribution systems, and wastewater management principles.
Familiarity with regulatory requirements and
permitting processes related to water infrastructure projects.
