Cleanliness Index Programme - Used to highlight the cleanliness of water network within certain areas that have a high level of sample failures or high customer contacts regarding water quality. Proactive flushing programme. A process used by Scottish Water to implement a clean of the network using unidirectional flushing techniques. Main duties and responsibilities include: Managing two separate teams of design engineers for both projects. 10 design engineers in total. Design lead, reviewing designs and making amendments to design drawings. Mentoring design engineers on a daily basis, teaching them new techniques and ensuring they have a full understanding of the network. Assisting Project Manager in meetings and providing progress reports Interviewing candidates for new positions within the project

Team Leader Water EngineerFull Time

• Job Details:From February 2008 to December 2014 I worked on the Leakage Management Services (LMS) contract for NI Water. My job allowed me to be included on nearly all aspects of this contract. I was a team leader and supervised four Project Engineers; delegating work to each of them and ensuring all our targets and key performance indicators are met. I have set out below the progress of my work through this contract:- Producing District Metered Area (DMA) Maps for leakage detection teams. Designing DMA Schematics used by leakage detection teams for step testing Pressure Logging/Flow Logging using a range of logging equipment Cello/Primayer/Radcom Loggers Assessing Pressure Reducing Valves/ Mechanical & Magnetic Meters for replacement Surveying new asset installations installed under the LMS contract and updating onto GIS Creating a high level network schematic for all Supply Zones within NIW infrastructure Maintaining GIS layers on MapInfo for a number of different areas such as PRV information, Pressure Managed Areas, Boundary Valves Designing and maintaining Trunk Main Audits to identify Leakage within trunk main networks Managing Resource Zones highlighted for intensive leakage management after freeze/thaw period in 2010 and 2011 winters. The Resource Zones reached their extraction limits from the source due to high levels of leakage. Examples of these areas include Lough Ross and Omagh RZ where a significant reduction in Distribution Input into these areas can be attributed to work I was involved in. Using leakage calculations to set specific leakage targets for leakage detection teams Produce Interim reports on the progress of these projects for monthly meetings Managing leakage engineers resources to achieve targets of PRV replacements, Pressure Management Schemes etc. Managing civils work installations under LMS contract for NIW LMS contract manager and creating weekly update reports for meetings Monitoring Distribution Input Reports to highlight any significant increases in flows on a daily basis, tracking this increase down to a specific area for reactive leakage detection Tracking flow data issues to ensure a high level of District Metered Areas reporting on Weekly/Monthly Bottom up Reports. Facilitating the transfer of old manual Excessive Night Users (ENUs) logged values which were collected over previous 10 years into actual 7 day logged data files to be integrated into new Leakage management software. This involved organizing the flow logging of over 1000 customer meters. Identifying any new ENUs within NIW network, logging all Sewage Treatment Works and Sewage Pumping Stations. From 2012 to 2015 I managed a specifically developed project within the LMS Contract which dealt with High Volume DMAs. This project is specifically designed for DMAs that have a consistently high level of leakage where previous intervention through conventional leak detection methods have been unsuccessful, any reduction in flow achieved is short lived and is followed by a gradual increase in flow back to previous levels. Duties and responsibilities included: Managing a team of between 4 & 6 leakage technicians who were responsible for finding the leaks on the ground and also their supervisor. Developing a process for the identification and analysis of historically high leakage DMAs and assessing the likely outcome of High Volume DMA intervention. Managing the project engineers within the office who were required to carry out any pressure logging for step tests & assessing existing asset performance, PRVs, WPS etc. Reporting on a weekly basis to the Project Manager and attending weekly update meetings to provide NIW with the status of work ongoing. Producing Final reports to include all stages of the work and reductions achieved. This is only a brief outline of the work I have been involved in over the past 7 years in this role. There are other areas which I have worked on which have helped me build up the key skills necessary in fulfilling numerous roles within a water company.
