Job description

Overview

Independently carry out design of stormwater drainage systems for various projects. Manage design of nonconventional/smart drainage systems and Sustainable Urban Drainage systems (SuDS). Investigate and develop stormwater drainage designs with minimum supervision based on principles of urban drainage design SuDS and Water Sensitive Design. Apply innovative ideas, technology and value engineering solutions.

Responsibilities

• Hydraulic and system design of the complex environment to meet site-specific requirements.
• Understand the biological and physical processes of stormwater management.
• Provide supervision and support to junior engineers.
• Undertake hydrologic modeling, calculations, drawings and report writing.
• Work across all stages of a project taking a high level of responsibility but under the coaching and support of senior engineers.
• Coordinate with the CAD / BIM / 3D modeling teams on projects.

Requirements

• Degree in Civil Engineering.
• Minimum of 4 years experience for Engineer.
• Minimum 8 years experience for Senior Engineer.
• Experience of designing culverts, urban drainage systems and highway drainage is required.
• Demonstrated understanding of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling/design software packages used in the design of surface drainage, piped networks, cross drainage and flood analysis (e.g., CAD, SWMM, HEC-RAS, HECHMS).
• Experience with Infoworks ICM would be an added advantage.
• Excellent command of GIS and CAD tools such as ArcMap, AutoCAD Civil 3D and MicroStation.
• The capability of mathematics to create calculation sheets and perform further calculations where required to ensure the design is appropriate.
• Knowledge of Water Sensitive Design and Sustainable Drainage Design (SuDS).
