**Are you interested in civil engineering and large scale infrastructure projects? Are you inspired to solve complex engineering problems and ready to contribute to major developments and transportation projects? Join our team and contribute to designing innovative and sustainable solutions that will transform communities and set the standard for the future of infrastructure. If you’re ready for noteworthy projects that explore advanced engineering solutions, we want to hear from you**

**Turn challenges into sustainable solutions**
We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer with knowledge in highway and drainage engineering. In this role, you will design and deliver diverse infrastructure projects, from drainage systems to large-scale civil works, ensuring the creation of sustainable, resilient, and efficient solutions for our clients.
You will be involved in some of Singapore’s most significant projects, contributing to LTA projects, climate adaptation strategies, and coastal development efforts.
On a daily basis you will be involved in below activities:

- Develop comprehensive drainage designs for transportation projects, ensuring compliance with local and national regulations. Conduct hydrological and hydraulic analysis to assess water flow patterns and drainage system performance.
- Evaluate existing drainage systems, identify areas for improvement, and propose innovative solutions to optimize water flow, mitigate flooding risks, and protect infrastructure.
- Conduct site assessments to evaluate drainage system feasibility, risks, and environmental impacts.
- Develop comprehensive highway civil works for transportation projects, ensuring compliance with local and national regulations. If required, advise on traffic management for temporary diversions and associated temporary works.
- Manage and coordinate drainage design activities, working closely with cross-functional teams, contractors, and government agencies. Ensure that drainage systems are integrated into the overall project plans and adhere to budgets, timelines, and quality standards.
- Prepare detailed design reports, feasibility studies, and project documentation to present findings and recommendations to clients, stakeholders, and regulatory authorities.
- Ensure compliance with local codes and industry standards, overseeing quality control and adherence to health, safety, and environmental guidelines.
- Work closely with other engineering disciplines (structural, geotechnical, environmental, etc.) to ensure integrated solutions that address all aspects of highway development and maintenance.

**Your skills. Our Team. Together we design the future**
The first step to fulfilment in this role is that you are willing to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways, but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.
Furthermore, you should have:

- At least 5-7 years of experience in civil engineering, with solid practical knowledge in civil engineering design and implementation. Experience in managing drainage-focused projects is beneficial.
- Extensive experience in drainage system design for transportation infrastructure projects, including highways, roads, and bridges specifically for LTA and PUB.
- Proficiency in drainage design software (e.g., HydroCAD, StormCAD, Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, etc.) and other engineering design tools.
- Solid knowledge of hydrology, hydraulics, stormwater management, and relevant environmental regulations.
- Familiarity with local and international standards would be beneficial, including AASHTO, FHWA, and other related codes and guidelines
- Proficient in communicating with clients, contractors, and project teams in English.

**A place to work and so much more.**
We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.
