HYDROLOGIST ENGINEER (1 POSITION) @ NARENDER SHARMA
ICT is seeking a qualified Hydrologist Engineer for a significant infrastructure project in Kenya. This role involves feasibility studies and preliminary engineering design for a 143 km road network and associated civil works for fiber optic cable delivery. The project covers a vast area including Embomoss, Koiwa, Chebole, Siongiroi, Labotiet, Gorgor, Ambosi, Dikkirr, Kilgoris, Enoosaen, Anganga, and Mariwa. This is a specialized position requiring a professional with a deep understanding of hydrological analysis and its application to major road design and flood control works.
The successful candidate will be responsible for catchment delineation, rainfall data analysis, flood frequency analysis, and determination of design flood flows to mitigate risks to road infrastructure. Technical proficiency in hydrological modeling software such as HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, and SWMM is essential. Additionally, the role requires the application of GIS tools for extracting terrain parameters from digital elevation models. The assignment duration is approximately four man-months, requiring immediate availability and the ability to work within the Kenyan regulatory framework for registered professional engineers.
