About the role
This is a technical interview about designing and delivering water and sanitation infrastructure in development settings. The panel is looking for defensible engineering choices, careful quality control, realistic costing and systems that communities can operate after handover.
How to prepare
- Review your approach to demand estimation, source assessment, hydraulic design and water safety.
- Prepare a project example that covers design choices, quantities, supervision and commissioning.
- Think of a construction defect you identified and how you documented its correction.
- Practise explaining technical trade-offs in language a programme colleague or community committee can understand.
- Review how spare parts, operator training and maintenance financing affect sustainability.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a technology before confirming source, demand and site conditions.
- Accepting contractor claims without measurements, records or inspection evidence.
- Cutting essential safety or accessibility features to meet a budget.
- Treating handover as a ceremony rather than an operation and maintenance process.
