Manager - Wet Utility

The role ensures that all wet utility submissions from third-party developers comply with AD Ports’ development standards, utility authority regulations, and long-term infrastructure planning requirements.

• Responsibilities: Core Responsibilities:
  
  Review wet utility designs including water distribution, firefighting systems, sewer networks, irrigation lines, and stormwater drainage layouts to ensure compliance with AD Ports’ guidelines and local authority regulations.
  
  Evaluate hydraulic calculations, demand assessments, pump sizing, pipe routing, manhole layouts, retention systems, and overall network capacity.
  
  Check integration of proposed wet utility systems with existing and planned infrastructure to ensure connectivity, adequate capacity, and operational feasibility.
  
  Issue Master Developer/Owner wet utility NOCs for authority submissions after consolidating internal and multi-disciplinary comments.
  
  Coordinate with utility authorities such as ADDC, ADSSC, and relevant municipal entities regarding connection points, diversion requirements, and compliance approvals.
  
  Assess development impacts on existing wet utility networks and recommend necessary upgrades, diversions, or mitigation measures.
  
  Review stormwater management plans including detention/retention basins, overland flow paths, flood protection measures, and sustainability considerations.
  
  Support plot-level applications involving new wet utility connections, diversions, service upgrades, or modifications to existing networks.
  
  Participate in technical meetings with developers, consultants, and authorities to resolve comments and align designs with regulatory expectations.
  
  Ensure all designs consider long-term operation, maintenance access, safety, and resilience, especially in industrial and logistics-focused sites.
  
  Maintain accurate records of wet utility approvals, load allocations, network capacities, and infrastructure commitments.
  
  Prepare technical reports, review summaries, cover letters, and wet-utility-related authority submissions.
  
  Stay up to date on wet utility regulations, design standards, hydraulic modelling requirements, and best practices applicable to Abu Dhabi and UAE industrial environments.

• Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in engineering or associated field. Master’s Degree or equivalent preferred
  
  Minimum 10 years of experience in Urban Planning with multi discipline approach.
  
  Proficient in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, hydraulic modelling tools, GIS, and other wet utility design and analysis software.
  
  Able to interpret hydraulic modelling outputs, network simulations, pipe sizing, pump capacities, and stormwater drainage calculations.
  
  Capable of preparing sketches, mark-ups, and quick layout diagrams to support design reviews and technical discussions.
