Prepare technical reports, design specifications, and bill of quantities (BOQ).

Ensure all designs comply with local regulations, codes, and standards.

Work closely with architects, urban planners, and other engineering disciplines to integrate wet utility systems into broader infrastructure projects.

Identify and resolve design challenges or site-specific issues during the design and construction phases.

Provide technical support during construction, including reviewing shop drawings and responding to RFIs (Requests for Information).

Follow company QA/QC procedures, design checklists, and document control protocols.

Assist senior engineers in defining design scope, project submission.

Contribute to risk assessments and design decisions with a focus on safety, operability, and maintainability.
