Purpose

Is responsibleforprovidingtechnical and engineering support in the field of infrastructure design and construction, projectmanagementand quality control.

To provide engineeringexpertiseto the MCK organization.

• Writes technical reports, project proposals and conducts feasibility studies for Capital projects. Some research may be necessary to complete these reports.

• Analyzes and edits technical reports and feasibility studies. Analyzes, summarizes, and explains external reports from engineering consultants or other agencies. Identify the most cost-effective alternative from these reports.

• Carries out vertical control surveys for the transfer of reference benchmarks, road elevations, and water, sewer, and drainage pipe elevations.

• Executes horizontal surveys necessary for Capital construction projects.

• Calculates and draws subdivisions of properties for land exchange, infrastructure construction or road construction.

• Performs calculations for estimates of quantities of work or material required on projects or technical calculations for the sizing of mechanical or electrical equipment.

• Maintains and provides a record of as-built locations and elevations of completed construction project elements.

• Produces final as-built drawing for the completed project.

• Knows current accepted procedure and specifications for water and sewer installation for urban and rural applications.

• Ensures that water, sewer and drainage pipes and roads are installed according to the engineering plans for the project.

• Verify the design with existing conditions on site and make changes if needed, subject to approval by the Engineer.

• Records daily progress and activities on construction projects, such as: excavation quantities, machine time and linear feet of pipe installed, asphalt measurements and concrete curb measurements.

• Develops and compiles public tenders and contract documents.

• Performs technical analysis of public tenders submitted.

• Assist any MCK Unit, community member or organization in Kahnawà:ke, with the Immediate Supervisor’s approval that requires technical assistance for the implementation of their projects.

• Attends and participates in meetings with committees that may need engineering or project management assistance for their projects.

• Conveys information to the public through bulletins or notices of emergencies (flooding, water breaks, etc.) and projects that affect the community.

To act as project manager and provide technical supervision.
