Hydraulic Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

1. Hydraulic System Design:
• Design and analyze hydraulic systems for pipelines, pumping stations, and water distribution networks.
• Perform surge analysis and water hammer studies to ensure system safety and reliability.
2. Surge Analysis & Mitigation:
• Conduct transient hydraulic analysis using advanced software tools (e.g., Surge 2000, Bentley Hammer, or similar).
• Develop and implement surge protection strategies, including surge tanks, control valves, and pressure relief devices.
3. Air Valve Selection:
• Evaluate and select appropriate air valves (e.g., air release, vacuum break,combination valves) for various hydraulic systems.
• Perform calculations for optimal placement and sizing of air valves to preven vacuum conditions and pipeline collapse.
4. Pipeline Design Optimization:
• Optimize pipeline routes, materials, and diameters based on hydraulic modeling and cost analysis.
• Ensure designs adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g. AWWA, BIS, or ISO).
5. Collaboration with Teams:
• Work closely with project managers, structural engineers, and construction teams to integrate hydraulic design solutions into broader infrastructure projects.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical support during project execution.
6. Technical Documentation:
• Prepare detailed design reports, calculations, and technical specifications.
• Develop operation and maintenance guidelines for hydraulic systems, focusing on surge protection and valve operation.
7. Compliance and Innovation:
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards.
• Explore innovative technologies and methodologies to enhance hydraulic system efficiency and sustainability.
