Civil Engineer (Water and Sanitation)

Roads, water, buildings: the bulk water utility in Welkom needs a civil engineer who can take a project from design to site. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Welkom (Free State). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Work out loads to SANS 10160 for buildings and structures
• Write design reports and handover documents
• Review geotechnical reports and choose suitable foundations
• Design water pipelines, sewers and stormwater systems with hydraulic software
