An Engineering Degree (B Eng/BSc Eng) in Civil Engineering. Three (3) years post-qualification engineering experience in water and civil engineering related to gauging structure/weirs design, construction management and safety of hydraulic structures required for a registered professional engineer. Compulsory registration with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) as a professional engineer. Excellent technical knowledge of current design standards, calibration procedures, and best practices applicable to hydraulic structures such as flood outlets and gauging weirs. Demonstrable experience in hydraulic and hydrological analyses, including the use of relevant engineering software and computer applications. Knowledge of hydraulic structure modelling, dam safety principles, environmental legislation, and other applicable legal frameworks. Proven practical experience in the design of hydraulic structures (e.g., canals, dams, gauging weirs) is essential. Strong skills in data management, analysis, and interpretation.

Perform engineering design and analysis work related to new and existing gauging weirs within the Directorate, ensuring appropriate, efficient, and cost- effective design solutions. Undertake the hydraulic and structural design of gauging structures in accordance with national and international standards. Conduct and supervise quality control, construction monitoring, and on-site problem-solving during project implementation. Assist with the establishment and improvement of flow-gauging sites, including direct and indirect hydraulic calibration and verification of flow-measurement systems. Review, audit, and quality-assure engineering reports produced within the section. Provide professional technical advice and engineering support to internal directorates and external stakeholders. Keep up to date with developments in dam safety, water engineering, hydraulic modelling, flow measurement technologies, and applicable legislation, and contribute to the development or refinement of engineering policies and standards. Participate in inter-directorate engagements and maintain close liaison with hydrological teams at national and provincial levels. Support and perform activities related to high flood line determinations. Mentor and train junior engineers, engineering technologists, and technicians. Attend site visits, meetings, and undertake work across the 101 Page 102 country, which may involve extensive travel and irregular or extended working hours.
