Design Engineer – Solid Waste Management

Responsibilities:-

• identify the industrial waste and MSW infrastructure gaps, review of exclusionary screening/
  prioritization of subprojects (including for any updation in investment plan and action plan, and any phasing of deliverables on iterative basis during PRF implementation), proof of concept/ site plans, development of key indicators, etc., prior to undertaking detailed engineering design stage of work (confirm availability of land with clear–title, site or right-of- way/ ensure all no-objection and necessary clearances obtained for encumbrances free prioritized subproject sites available); and at the review stage.
• review and assess the available/affordable technological solutions in India/region/sub region for industrial waste management, plastic reuse and recycle, legacy waste management, decentralized but integrated solutions for waste treatment, efficient and cost-effective waste segregation and collection systems, resource recovery facilitating a higher waste diversion or recovery rate from conventional treatment system of sanitary landfill, etc
• while finalizing the detailed engineering designs, specifications and drawings, keep in consideration factors for resilience to climate risks/ climate change impacts and disaster risks (as per national standards/international standards and/or best practices, including ADB’s South Asia Department framework and practice, and ADB’s brief note on managing infectious medical waste during pandemics, such as coronavirus disease [COVID-19] pandemic, etc.),
• responsible for the feasibility studies and preparation of detailed engineering designs, bid- level working/ good for construction drawings, including engineering cost estimates and item- rate analysis, and specifications (goods/plant and/or civil works components) for bid documents of the finalized subprojects’ comprehensive DPR covering integrated industrial waste and MSW management.
• contribute to institutional capacity development strengthening through technical capacity
  building/ on-the-job training sessions, based on sectoral expertise of the consultant and
  impart training;
• provide inputs to periodic and annual reports, as required

Qualification And Experience:-

• BSc, B.E., or B.Tech. from a recognized University in Environment Engineering/ Public Health Engineering/ Civil Engineering/ Architectural Engineering or equivalent

Specification:-

• 10 years of specific experience in planning and designing for implementation, and operation and maintenance of industrial waste and municipal solid waste (MSW) management-related infrastructure, including through segregated management of industrial waste (i.e., not mixed with MSW to avoid cross contamination, with hazardous waste or industrial waste to be disposed in hazardous waste sites with special/ safe containment system, through use of specially designed treatment, storage, and disposal facility–TSDF), use of waste transfer station and/or waste storage depot/ material recovery and/or recycling facilities, vehicles (conveyance with/ without waste compaction, and street cleaning), other equipment, etc., under integrated industrial/ urban sectors.
• Knowledge of environment-friendly/climate resilient interventions, such as planning and design of landfill, bio- gas plant, vermi-composting, mechanical composting, resource recovery centers, waste-to- energy recovery systems when integrated with scientifically-laid sanitary landfill-mechanical or vermi composting-incinerator-plasma gasification or vitrification plant, etc., will be an added advantage.
• Work experience in planning and design, and implementation of external-aided/MDB projects in integrated industrial/ urban sectors is desirable.

Location:-

• Tripura, India.
