As a Civil Engineering student, I always like to keep an eye out on future opportunities in the field. I found this little job advert by Severn Trent which is particularly ironic!
The position would involve working within a team of Project Engineers involved in various types of Civil Engineering projects.
Current workload includes 16 Drainage Area Plans for Severn Trent Water, a number of Land Drainage Studies, Flood Risk Assessments, Feasibility Studies, private development Highway and Sewerage Design, Structural designs and supporting the Construction Division of company.
Drainage Area Plans involve the analysis of the sewerage system serving an area containing a population of up to 250,000 people. The sewerage system is analysed both structurally and hydraulically and the findings reported on to a specification supplied by the client. The structural analysis involves categorising each sewer length in line with the SRM and carrying out internal surveys of the sewers. The hydraulic analysis involves building a computer model and verifying it against real rainfall events then analysing the performance of the system against a specified procedure.Severn Trent is the water company which is responsible for the Gloucestershire area, a part of Britain which was a couple of feet under water during the recently floods. I think its quite obvious to EVERYONE what the report for the sewage and drainage system will be like! LOL!
A Flood Risk Assessment report? Hmmm... Where should I start...
