• Should have strong background knowledge of Roads and Airfield Engineering infrastructures & standards. Evaluates, reviews and revises project documents, and analyzes design specifications included in project proposals for accuracy, soundness, feasibility and cost.

• Recommends solutions to unusual engineering problems including designs of overhead anti-blast protections. Conducts technical studies on engineering topics, developing guidelines for the general planning and maintenance of programs and facilities.

• Calculates stresses and strain affecting proposed structures, considering such factors as estimated load, water pressure, wind resistance, soil characteristics, temperature fluctuations and nature of building materials to be used.

• Leads efforts of team studying critical problems relating to design or construction of systems and facilities. Makes recommendations for resolution of problems in specialized areas.

• Participates in planning missions, serving as technical adviser to committees or international meetings.

• Develop short and long-range plans for the design, procurement of goods/services, construction/commissioning, and operation/maintenance of our client facilities and infrastructure, taking into consideration that the mission is established in areas with a risk-environment of medium to high threat, and in areas with minimal power, communications, transport and service infrastructure.

• Mission facilities typically include modularized camps for troops and civilian staff, logistics bases and airbases with all required utility infrastructure for electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems and security works.

• Contribute to the development of annual engineering budgets and associated work schedules, based on engineering resource planning, taking into account all required engineering material needs and selected enabling capacities (e.g. military engineering units, commercial contractors, mission support teams, or mission engineering staffing) for the most effective and efficient execution of the engineering work plans.

• Monitor actual costs and schedule performance against the approved budget and baseline schedules. Participate in design or pre-construction conference and other meetings with clients as necessary to establish design parameters. Conduct on-site meetings to assist in clarifying technical design elements as required. Performs other related duties as required.
