Utilities Engineer

Roles and responsibilities

As a Wet Utilities Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the design, coordination, specification, code compliance of the Civil/ME Engineering, hydraulic or related field. You will be involved in the design and analysis of Fire water, potable water, irrigation water, sanitary wastewater and industrial wastewater (foul water) network. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with BIM team to prepare 3D models and 2D layouts and multidisciplinary coordination for clash resolution in NAVISWORKS, REVIT & REVITZO.

You will play a crucial role in understand their needs, present design proposals, and provide technical support and recommendations alongside collaborate with a multidisciplinary team. You will be empowered to contribute to the design development process, including concept development, detailed design, and engineering calculations, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including project managers, architects, electrical engineers, and construction teams.

Here's what you'll need

• You will be U.A.E National that holds an accredited Bachelor’s Civil / Mechanical or Electrical Engineering degree from a recognized institution.
• Demonstrated experience in NAVISWORKS, REVIT & REVITZO.
• Knowledge of standards like Saudi Building Codes (SBC), Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA), Abu Dhabi Civil Defense (ADCD), International Building Code (IBC) & NFPA etc.
• Knowledge Hydraulic modeling with Sewergem, Water CAD and equivalent industry standard software.
• You are creative, self-motivated, and work well in dynamic, yet changing environment.
