Technical

• Assist in the planning and development of conceptual designs for various civil
  
  engineering projects, including roads, drainage systems, water and wastewater infrastructure, and site development.
• Perform engineering calculations, analyses, and design tasks for civil infrastructure components, ensuring compliance with relevant codes, standards, and regulations.
• Develop and utilise hydraulic and hydrologic models to analyse stormwater management systems, flood control measures, and water distribution networks.
• Assist in the planning and interpretation of geotechnical investigations and incorporate findings into design solutions for foundations, earthworks, and retaining structures.
• Design and analyse pavement structures for roads and other paved areas, considering traffic loads, material properties, and environmental factors.
• Design and coordinate the layout and installation of underground utilities, including water, sewer, and stormwater systems.
• Integrate sustainable design principles and best practices into project designs, considering environmental impact and resource efficiency.
• Prepare clear and concise technical reports, design documentation, and specifications.

Collaboration & Teamwork

• Assist senior engineers and project managers in coordinating project activities,
  
  including communication with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.
• Conduct site inspections to monitor construction progress, ensure compliance with
  
  design specifications, and identify potential issues.
• Provide technical support during the construction phase, responding to contractor
  
  queries and resolving design-related challenges.
• Assist in the preparation of applications for permits and approvals from relevant authorities.
• Assist in tracking project budgets and schedules.
• Participate in quality control procedures to ensure the delivery of high-quality engineering solutions.

Financial

• Monitor own workflow and recommend corrective actions to optimise project outcomes.
• Comply with invoicing and expenditure procedures.
• Work within estimated parameters to deliver cost effective design and services.

Professional Development

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in civil engineering technology, codes, and best practices.
• Develop proficiency in relevant engineering software, including CAD (e.g., AutoCAD
  
  Civil 3D), hydraulic/hydrologic modelling software (e.g., HEC-RAS, MUSIC), and other
  
  analysis tools.
• Pursue professional development opportunities, including training courses, seminars, and conferences.
• Collaborate effectively with senior engineers and seek mentorship to enhance technical skills and professional growth.
• Develop strong communication and teamwork skills to effectively collaborate within project teams and interact with stakeholders.

Health, Safety, Environment & Quality

• Ensure compliance with internal policies and relevant ISO standards and ensure
  
  project document is retained as per HSEQ Management System
• Play a key role in developing and delivering systems or project administration training for employees.
• Participate in HSEQ training, report incidents, and support a culture of safety and
  
  quality.
• Follow safety rules, identify and address risks, and promote a safe workplace.
• Investigate accidents, incidents, and near misses, recommending corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.
• Proactively identify and assess potential risks, develop mitigation strategies, and
  
  implement measures to ensure safety in design and on site
• Participates in Emergency Preparedness activities e.g. fire evacuations.

Innovation

• Participate in discussions on work system improvements, including leveraging
  
  technology for information sharing, management, and quality control.
• Actively engage in reviewing work standards and monitoring processes, initiating
  
  recommendations for improvement.
• Assist clients in identifying sustainable options and implications.
• Bring ideas forward on how we can improve the way we deliver our partner
