## Description

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Senior Civil Engineer to take a leading role in the design and delivery of large-scale urban infrastructure. This pivotal position requires a seasoned professional with deep analytical and design skills in city-scale infrastructure, including roads, utilities, and advanced stormwater management systems. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader, capable of guiding projects from conceptual design through to site supervision and completion. A critical aspect of this role is the mandatory, close collaboration with urban designers and landscape architects to create integrated, sustainable, and resilient urban environments. This is a unique opportunity for an expert engineer to make a significant impact on the development of major city projects.  
  
Infrastructure Design & Technical Analysis 

-   Lead the conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design of all civil infrastructure for large-scale urban developments, including road networks (geometric and pavement design), potable water distribution, and wastewater collection systems. 

-   Conduct and oversee comprehensive hydrological and hydraulic modeling for stormwater management systems, including flood-line analysis and the design of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS). 

-   Prepare and approve high-quality engineering documentation, including detailed calculations, technical reports, specifications, and construction drawings, ensuring compliance with international and local standards. 

-   Utilize advanced infrastructure modeling tools to analyze and optimize designs for efficiency, constructability, and long-term performance. 

Project Execution & Site Supervision 

-   Provide expert technical oversight during the construction phase, ensuring all works are executed in strict accordance with design specifications, quality standards, and safety regulations. 

-   Conduct regular site inspections to monitor progress, identify potential issues, and provide decisive on-site solutions to technical challenges and contractor queries. 

-   Manage the review and approval of construction materials and contractor submittals to ensure they meet design requirements and quality benchmarks. 

-   Serve as the primary technical point of contact between the design office and the construction site, ensuring seamless communication and rapid resolution of issues. 

Integrated Design & Stakeholder Coordination 

-   Mandatory: Work in close and continuous coordination with urban designers and landscape architects to ensure that infrastructure design is seamlessly integrated with the overall masterplan and public realm vision. 

-   Participate in integrated design workshops to align road corridors, utility easements, and stormwater strategies with urban planning and landscape architecture objectives. 

-   Liaise effectively with government agencies, regulatory bodies, utility providers, and other external stakeholders to facilitate project approvals and ensure compliance. 

-   Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving within the team.
