Roles and responsibilities

The Engineer at this level is proficient in the utilization of basic hydraulic engineering theories & practices, preparation of Hydraulic Models and Drawings; and basic contribution to report writing.
Assignments involve engineering/CAD applications.
1. Design and Analysis:

Design drainage systems for various projects, including roads, parking lots, residential developments, and commercial properties.
Analyze site conditions and hydrological data to determine appropriate drainage solutions.
2. Hydrological Studies:

Conduct hydrological studies to assess rainfall patterns, runoff coefficients, and peak flow rates.
Utilize modeling software (e.g., HydroCAD, HEC-RAS) to simulate drainage conditions and evaluate system performance.
3. Compliance and Regulation:

Ensure all drainage designs comply with local, state, and federal regulations and standards.
Prepare and submit necessary documentation and permits for drainage projects.
4. Collaboration:

Work closely with civil engineers, urban planners, and other stakeholders to integrate drainage solutions into overall project designs.
Coordinate with environmental specialists to assess impacts on surrounding ecosystems and water bodies.
5. Site Inspections:

Conduct site visits and inspections to evaluate existing drainage conditions and identify potential issues.
Oversee construction of drainage systems to ensure compliance with design specifications and quality standards.
6. Maintenance Recommendations:

Develop maintenance plans for drainage systems to ensure long-term functionality and performance.
Provide recommendations for retrofitting or upgrading existing drainage systems.
7. Problem Solving:

Identify and troubleshoot drainage-related issues, such as flooding or erosion, and propose effective solutions.
Respond to emergency drainage situations, coordinating with relevant authorities to address immediate concerns.
8. Documentation and Reporting:

Prepare detailed reports, design documents, and presentation materials for stakeholders and regulatory agencies.
Maintain accurate records of design calculations, project specifications, and communications.
