Associate - Wet Utilities Engineer

About the role

Egis is looking for an Associate Wet Utilities Engineer in Bengaluru to lead the planning, design and delivery of wet utilities systems for major infrastructure and industrial developments such as roads, rail, ports and container terminals. The role covers stormwater and foul drainage, pressurised water networks, pumping stations, water storage tanks and hydrology/flood studies, and involves managing multidisciplinary design teams and giving strategic input to master planning.

Key responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end wet utilities design from concept through detailed design to IFC, including drainage, water supply, firefighting and irrigation systems, pumping stations and reservoirs.
• Direct and review hydrology and hydraulic analyses, including 1D/2D hydraulic models, design flows, HFLs, catchment delineation and flood risk assessments.
• Oversee hydraulic modelling of pressurised water and drainage networks, including surge and transient analysis, pump duty calculations and system curves.
• Prepare and approve design reports, drawings, specifications, data sheets, bills of quantities and tender documentation.
• Coordinate with highways, rail, structures, electrical, mechanical, architectural and environmental teams for integrated, conflict-free layouts.
• Provide technical leadership for drainage and water master planning, including system performance reviews, development assessments and long-term capacity planning.
• Ensure compliance with international and local standards and support interface with authorities for approvals.
• Support project managers with scope, fee estimates, schedules, risk registers and change management, and monitor progress, quality and budget.
• Mentor and develop a team of wet utilities, drainage, water and hydrology engineers.
• Present technical solutions and defend design decisions in client meetings, workshops and design reviews.

Required profile

• Typically 14-15 years of experience in wet utilities engineering, with significant exposure to large-scale infrastructure or industrial projects and leadership of multidisciplinary design teams.
• Bachelor's degree in civil, environmental or process engineering; a Master's in water resources, hydraulics or a related field is preferred.
• Leadership, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and excellent communication with cross-cultural, multidisciplinary teams and clients.

Required skills

• Design of stormwater and foul drainage, culverts, channels, pressurised water networks, pumping stations and reservoirs.
• Hydraulic and hydrologic modelling software such as Bentley SewerGEMS/StormCAD, WaterGEMS/WaterCAD, WaterHAMMER, HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS; surge/transient analysis is an advantage.
• Autodesk Civil 3D and AutoCAD, and GIS platforms for catchment delineation and flood hazard mapping.
• Knowledge of international codes and standards for water, wastewater, stormwater and fire protection systems.
