Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Design and Planning:

• Develop preliminary and detailed designs for water and sewer systems, including gravity mains, rising mains, pump stations, and hydraulic assessments.
• Perform structural and buoyancy calculations, thrust block designs, and pipe jacking force calculations.
• Prepare horizontal and vertical alignments, connection details, and valve specifications for pipelines.
• Conduct hydraulic modeling for sewerage networks using tools like InfoWorks and SewerGEMS.

Project Management:

• Coordinate site investigations, including surveys, geotechnical studies, and ecological assessments.
• Lead feasibility studies for pipeline alignment and infrastructure upgrades.
• Prepare tender documents, technical specifications, and cost estimates.
• Manage construction phase activities, including contractor coordination and field inspections.

Construction Oversight:

• Supervise installation and rehabilitation of sewer and water mains using methods like cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), micro-tunneling, and sliplining.
• Oversee testing and inspection services, including CCTV inspections, air testing, and hydrostatic testing.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and contract specifications.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Prepare design reports, construction sequences, shutdown plans, and as-built drawings.
• Maintain detailed field documentation, including daily inspection reports and photographic evidence.
• Review contractor submittals and provide recommendations for approvals.
