Write design reports and handover documents

Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate
Good grasp of South African design codes for your field
Code 08 licence and willingness to spend time on site
At least 3 years in design or construction supervision
Experience with structural or hydraulic design software
Able to explain technical issues to clients and contractors

Mention the design software you use and the codes you design to, so the reviewer does not have to guess.
Say whether you have done resident engineer work. It is a separate skill and often in short supply.
