• Prepare, review and coordinate shop drawings, longitudinal profiles, cross-sections, utility corridor layouts, coordinated services drawings and detailed engineering submissions.
• Identify design discrepancies, utility clashes, missing scope, technical risks and engineering optimization opportunities.
• Prepare and review RFIs, technical queries, material submittals, method statements and design clarification reports.
• Coordinate with designers and consultants to achieve technically compliant, buildable and cost-effective solutions.

• Lead value engineering studies for sewerage, stormwater, potable water, irrigation and associated infrastructure systems.
• Evaluate alternative pipe materials, diameters, alignments, invert levels, manhole arrangements, pumping capacities and construction methodologies.
• Compare gravity and pumped systems where technically feasible.
• Develop engineering alternatives supported by calculations, drawings, cost comparisons, technical risk assessments and lifecycle considerations.
• Quantify potential cost savings and prepare technical-commercial VE proposals for consultant and client approval.
• Ensure all proposed alternatives comply with applicable design criteria, authority requirements and project performance standards.

• Independently plan, organize and supervise infrastructure construction activities.
• Manage excavation, dewatering, shoring, underground piping,…
