Sewage And Waste Water Treatment Plant Engineer
Friends Enterprises, United Arab Emirates

The primary job of a waste water engineer is to design systems that safely treat waste water to remove any harmful substances and return it to the ecosystem. Waste water engineers lay out the specifications for pumping and lifting systems that bring waste water to the treatment plants. They also lay out specifications for the flow of the waste water through the system. They will engage with contractors and government agencies during the building of new treatment systems and ensure that all the building and water specifications fall underneath the correct codes.

10) Design water storage tanks or other water storage facilities.

11) Design water run-off collection networks, water supply channels, or water supply system networks.

12) Design water or waste water lift stations, including water wells.

13) Review and critique proposals, plans, or designs related to water or waste water treatment systems.

14) Provide technical direction or supervision to junior engineers, engineering or computer-aided design (CAD) technicians, or other technical personnel.

15) Design or select equipment for use in waste water processing to ensure compliance with government standards.

16) Perform mathematical modeling of underground or surface water resources, such as floodplains, ocean coastlines, streams, rivers, or wetlands.

17) Perform hydrological analyses, using three-dimensional simulation software, to model the movement of water or forecast the dispersion of chemical pollutants in the water supply.

18) Perform hydraulic analyses of water supply systems or water distribution networks to model flow characteristics, test for pressure losses, or to identify opportunities to mitigate risks and improve operational efficiency.

19) Oversee the construction of decentralized or on-site waste water treatment systems, including reclaimed water facilities.

20) Conduct feasibility studies for the construction of facilities, such as water supply systems, run-off collection networks, water and wastewater treatment plants, or waste water collection systems.

21) Conduct environmental impact studies related to water and waste water collection, treatment, or distribution.

22) Conduct cost-benefit analyses for the construction of water supply systems, run-off collection networks, water and waste water treatment plants, or waste water collection systems.

23) Analyze the efficiency of water delivery structures, such as dams, tainter gates, canals, pipes, penstocks, or cofferdams.

24) Analyze storm water or floodplain drainage systems to control erosion, stabilize river banks, repair channel streams, or design bridges.

25) Analyze and recommend chemical, biological, or other wastewater treatment methods to prepare water for industrial or domestic use.

26) Design pumping systems, pumping stations, pipelines, force mains, or sewers for the collection of wastewater.

27) Design domestic or industrial water or wastewater treatment plants, including advanced facilities with sequencing batch reactors (SBR), membranes, lift stations, headworks, surge overflow basins, ultraviolet disinfection systems, aerobic digesters, sludge lagoons, or control buildings.
