Demonstrated knowledge, proficiency, application, and practical experience in Hydraulics, including:

• Application of mass flow, energy, and momentum principles in hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, pipe flow, open-channel flow, sediment transport, hydraulic design, hydraulic modelling, and water and wastewater treatment technologies at well-defined, broadly defined, and complex levels.
• Total life cycle costing and analyses of water supply systems, e.g., abstraction and diversion works, pump station selection and design, bulk water supply, and water reticulation networks.
• Analyses, design, construction, and management of sewer and stormwater systems.
• Design of hydraulic structures, e.g., culverts, bridges, weirs, and associated protection works.
• Software applications related to water engineering (hydraulics), e.g., AutoDesk (AutoCAD & Civil-3D), Civil Designer, HEC-RAS, EPANET, EPASWMM, and Aqua Hydraulics.
• Design codes/legislation: (i) National Water Act (36/1998), (ii) Water Services Act (108/1997), (iii) National Environmental Management Act (107/1998), (iv) SANS1200 A-N (Civil Eng. Works), (v) CSIR (Red Book: Neighbourhood Planning and Design Guide for Sustainable Human Settlements), and (vi) SANRAL (Drainage Manual).

AND/OR

Demonstrated knowledge, proficiency, application, and practical experience in Hydrology, including:

• Surface hydrology, engineering (design) hydrology, geohydrology, water resources management and planning, hydrological statistics, hydrological and hydraulic modelling, and environmental engineering at well-defined, broadly defined, and complex levels.
• Hydrological data processing, e.g., evaluation, processing, and quality control of historical information and observed hydrological and/or meteorological data.
• Calibration of flow-gauging weirs and related hydraulic structures, inclusive of calibration techniques, velocity distributions, conventional current gaugings, velocity-index applications, and the development of rating and velocity distribution curves.
• Hydrological surveying, e.g., topographical, flood, stake-out, and as-built surveys.
• Design flood estimation and flood risk analyses, e.g., capacity analyses of drainage system infrastructure and the estimation of flood-line levels as part of the Stormwater Master Planning function.
• Software applications related to water engineering (hydrology), e.g., AutoDesk (AutoCAD & Civil-3D), ArcGIS, QGIS, DREU, RLMA&SI, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWAT, WRSM, and WRYM.
• Design codes/legislation: (i) Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (43/1983), (ii) National Water Act (36/1998), (iii) Disaster Management Act (57/2002), (iv) National Environmental Management Act (107/1998), and (v) SANRAL (Drainage Manual).

Desired Qualification, Knowledge and/or Experience

• Master’s degree at NQF Level 9 in Civil Engineering plus PrEng/PrTechEng (Civil Eng.) registration with ECSA if in possession of an NQF 8 qualification.
• Evidence of progress towards a Doctorate degree in Civil Engineering if in possession of a Master’s degree.
• Evidence of work experience in the subject field(s) covering all phases of the project life cycle.
• Evidence of experience in research and associated outputs.
• Community engagement services in the profession, e.g., consultancies and professional activities.
