  • Design water pipelines, sewers and stormwater systems with hydraulic software

  • Able to explain technical issues to clients and contractors
  • Good grasp of South African design codes for your field
  • At least 3 years in design or construction supervision
  • Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate
