Civil Engineers specializing in water reticulation systems require a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil/Water Engineering, 2–10+ years of experience in designing and constructing water supply/sanitation infrastructure. Key requirements include proficiency in AutoCAD/Civil 3D, hydraulic modeling, site assessment, project management, and, for senior roles, professional registration (e.g., EIZ/Eng.RB).

Key Job Requirements & Responsibilities

Education & Certification: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Civil, Environmental, or Water Engineering. Professional registration with relevant engineering bodies (e.g., Engineers Registration Board) is often required.

Technical Experience: Extensive experience in designing water reticulation, sanitation, and hydraulic systems. This includes pipelines, pumping stations, and water distribution networks.

Software Skills: Proficiency in design software like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or MicroStation.

Project Management: Ability to manage projects, create feasibility studies, and prepare technical reports/specifications.

Site Work: Experience in field inspections, site investigation, and construction supervision.

Soft Skills: Strong communication skills (written/spoken), leadership capabilities, and the ability to work under pressure.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing water distribution systems and sewerage networks.
• Conducting hydraulic calculations for pipelines and pumping stations.
• Conducting geotechnical investigations and site characterizations.
• Managing project timelines using tools like MS Project.
