With the responsibility to
facilitate consistent and accurate review of UNOPS Transportation
infrastructure, upholding high standards and providing critical
feedback/recommendations, specifically, the functional responsibilities
include:
-
Support the CoE team in
assuring the safety and quality of designs for UNOPS Transportation
infrastructure. Applying his/her technical expertise and professional
experience to evaluate whether the proposed design solution meets the specified
requirements, and at minimum the requirements of UNOPS applicable design
planning manual.
-
Highlight the need to seek
additional information or explanation, if necessary, to understand the
rationale for decisions contained in the design.
-
Work closely with the CoE
team to provide technical feedback, observations and advice that will lead to
the improvement of transportation designs to meet the requirements.
-
Assist the CoE team in
completing the relevant design review checklist and/ or compiling the design
review report including the feedback, observations and design review findings.
-
Ensure that the identified
design solution has met the functional statement of the applicable UNOPS design
planning manual and is compliant with UNOPS policy for sustainable
infrastructure.
-
Ensure that UNOPS design
planning manual and any relevant national or international standards must be
jointly applied and compliance with the more stringent standard is required.
-
Ensure that the design
solution complies with and, in some cases, surpass national standards related
to life safety.
-
In the performance of
his/her services, the Road Engineer will provide independent technical
evaluation and recommendations, free of conflicts of interests, and be able to
maintain the integrity of the technical opinion against project pressures.
-
Contribute to the
dissemination and sharing of best practices and lessons learned for development
planning and knowledge building.
-
Maintain effective
communication with CoE team members and with project team.
-
Perform all aspects of
design review for transportation infrastructure under minimal supervision; wok
is reviewed for adequacies on completion.
-
Review transportation design
drawings, technical specifications, and BOQs in terms of accuracy and
suitability to overall design requirements, identifying aspects where designs
do not comply with minimum codes and standards and UNOPS policies, and
providing practical guidance for design improvement
-
Perform quality control,
design review for different transportation design works including but not
limited to:
- Civil Roadway design
- Highway design
- Drainage / storm water
design
- Traffic engineering.
-
Applying technical
expertise and professional experience in support to design development, the
Engineer will support projects by providing guidance in the design development
of transportation related works to achieve technical objectives.
-
Use computer-assisted
engineering and design software as necessary to perform design review / design
support tasks, such as:
- AutoCAD.
- Structural analysis
software :ETABS, SAP, STAAD or similar
- Project Scheduling software
such as Primavera, MS Project or similar
- GIS based Traffic software
- BIM based software
- Hydraulic simulation
software
-
