This role is responsible for assisting with planning/designing near future infrastructure and tying it into the existing and long‑term planned water management systems. The types of questions this role would be responsible for solving are: How are we going to move/store water within future areas set for development? What infrastructure (sumps, pumps, discharge lines, etc.) do we need? Where should the water be routed to? When do we need it in place? What infrastructure do we need to keep/modify to ensure existing systems are still effective? How does water infrastructure and areas of focus tie in with other infrastructure (roads, pipeplines, utilities)? This role is primarily a planning/design role with the intent to support long range plans. Visits to site are recommended throughout the term due to this relationship.
