Water & Waste water

Key Responsibilities:

Water and Wastewater System Design:

• Design water supply and distribution systems, including pipelines, pumps, treatment facilities, and storage reservoirs.
• Design wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal systems, including sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, and sewer networks.
• Prepare detailed engineering designs, including technical drawings, specifications, and calculations for water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate water and wastewater systems with other civil, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Regulatory Compliance and Standards:

• Ensure that water and wastewater designs comply with local, state, and federal regulations, as well as industry standards (e.g., AWWA, EPA, or ISO standards).
• Stay up-to-date with regulatory changes and industry best practices related to water and wastewater systems.
• Conduct risk assessments and environmental impact assessments (EIA) for water and wastewater projects, ensuring sustainability and minimal environmental impact.

Project Management and Coordination:

• Lead or support the management of water and wastewater infrastructure projects, ensuring that the designs meet client requirements and timelines.
• Coordinate with clients, contractors, and stakeholders to gather project requirements, provide progress updates, and resolve technical issues.
• Prepare technical reports, proposals, and cost estimates for projects related to water and wastewater systems.
• Review and approve design documents and ensure that projects are completed in accordance with specifications and within budget.

Hydraulic and Hydrological Analysis:

• Perform hydraulic modeling and analysis for water distribution systems, stormwater management, and wastewater networks to optimize system design and performance.
• Conduct flow analysis, pressure analysis, and system optimization for water and wastewater treatment and distribution systems.
• Analyze and design systems to ensure adequate water supply, pressure, and treatment capacity.

Sustainability and Efficiency:

• Develop solutions that optimize water use, improve treatment efficiency, and reduce waste in water and wastewater systems.
• Design systems that incorporate energy-efficient technologies, such as pump optimization, water reuse, and energy recovery.
• Advocate for sustainable practices in water management, including water conservation, stormwater management, and the reuse of treated wastewater.

Design Reviews and Quality Assurance:

• Conduct design reviews and quality checks on water and wastewater designs to ensure accuracy, compliance, and feasibility.
• Collaborate with quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) teams to implement best practices in the design process.
• Review construction documentation and ensure that designs are accurately implemented during the construction phase.

Site Visits and Construction Support:

• Conduct site visits to assess conditions, gather data, and provide support during the construction phase of water and wastewater projects.
• Offer technical guidance and support to construction teams, ensuring that designs are implemented correctly and any issues are resolved promptly.
• Assist with commissioning and start-up activities for newly constructed water and wastewater systems.

Documentation and Reporting:

• Maintain accurate records of all design activities, project reports, and communications with clients and contractors.
• Prepare and present progress reports, design drawings, technical documentation, and presentations for clients and regulatory agencies.
• Document design decisions, calculations, and analysis to ensure project continuity and knowledge sharing.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience:

  3-5 years of experience in water and wastewater engineering, including design, planning, and project management.

Skills:

• Proficiency in design and modeling software (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D, EPANET, HEC-RAS, WaterCAD).
• Strong understanding of water distribution and wastewater collection systems, treatment processes, and infrastructure design.
• Knowledge of hydraulic and hydrological analysis methods, including pressure, flow, and stormwater modeling.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements and environmental standards related to water and wastewater systems.
• Ability to prepare technical reports, cost estimates, and project proposals.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and work independently or as part of a team.
