This bulk water utility in Roodepoort needs someone who can check a design and then go and check it was built right. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Roodepoort-based, with most of your time spent at a bulk water utility.

• Act as resident engineer: inspect works, measure quantities and certify payments
• Review geotechnical reports and choose suitable foundations
• Check drawings from technicians and sign them for issue
• Chair site meetings and handle contractor queries
• Design water pipelines, sewers and stormwater systems with hydraulic software
• Work out loads to SANS 10160 for buildings and structures
• Design reinforced concrete and steel structures to SANS 10100 and SANS 10162

• Registered with ECSA as a professional or candidate
• At least 3 years in design or construction supervision
• BEng, BSc Eng or BTech in Civil Engineering
• Good grasp of South African design codes for your field

• Flexible working on design weeks
• Site allowance when you work as resident engineer

• Group your experience by type: water, roads, structures. Consultants look for the exact type in the job ad.
• Say whether you have done resident engineer work. It is a separate skill and often in short supply.
