We are seeking a Lead Wet Utilities Engineer to lead the planning, design, and delivery of wet utilities systems for major infrastructure and industrial developments, including roads, rail, ports, and container terminals. The role covers stormwater and foul drainage, pressurised water networks (potable, firefighting, irrigation), pumping stations, water storage tanks, and hydrology / flood studies. The successful candidate will manage multidisciplinary design teams, ensure technical excellence, and provide strategic input to master planning and project delivery.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the end-to-end wet utilities design for major infrastructure and industrial projects, from concept through detailed design to IFC, including drainage, water supply, firefighting and irrigation systems, and associated pumping stations and reservoirs.
- Direct and review hydrology and hydraulic analyses to establish design flows, HFLs, catchment delineation, flood risk assessments, and flood protection measures, including the use of 1D/2D hydraulic models.
- Oversee hydraulic modelling and design of pressurised water networks and drainage networks (open channels, ditches, culverts, piped systems), including surge analysis, transient analysis, pump duty calculations, and system curve development.
- Lead preparation and approval of technical deliverables: design reports, drawings, hydraulic models, specifications, data sheets, bills of quantities, and tender documentation to meet project, client, and international code requirements.
- Coordinate closely with highways, rail, structures, electrical, mechanical, architectural, and environmental teams to ensure fully integrated wet utilities solutions and conflict-free layouts in complex corridors and industrial facilities.
- Provide technical leadership for drainage and water master planning, including system performance reviews, development assessments, operational scenario planning, and long-term capacity planning.
- Ensure compliance with relevant international and local standards and guidelines for water, wastewater, stormwater and flood management, and support interface with authorities for approvals.
- Support project managers with scope definition, fee estimates, schedules, risk registers and change management for wet utilities work packages; monitor progress, quality, and budget utilisation.
- Lead, mentor, and technically develop a team of wet utilities, drainage, water and hydrology engineers, including review of work, knowledge sharing, and support to training plans.
- Participate in client meetings, technical workshops, and design reviews; present technical solutions and defend design decisions in a clear and professional manner.
