Project Engineer - Civil (Selfs Point Project)

at  UGL Limited

The purpose of the TasWater Capital Delivery Office (CDO) is to ensure cost-effective and timely delivery of quality capital works projects for TasWater that will meet the needs of TasWater’s business, their stakeholders and the communities of Tasmania for years to come. The TasWater CDO manages the TasWater Capital Works Program from inception to completion including the planning, design, procurement, and delivery phases.
We are on the lookout for individuals who will contribute to the development and delivery of our Selfs Point Sewer Transformation Project here in Tasmania.
As part of TasWater’s commitment to investing in new and improved sewerage infrastructure to cater for Hobart’s future growth, we are delivering one of our most significant projects to date.

This project combines the following 4 separate, but interconnected projects:

• Selfs Point Sewage Treatment Plant upgrade, near New Town Bay
• Macquarie Point to Selfs Point pipeline
• New Macquarie Point Sewage Pump Station; and
• Decommissioning of the existing Macquarie Point Sewage Treatment Plant.

The existing Selfs Point Sewage Treatment Plant was built in 1972 to support the treatment of Hobart’s wastewater. The plant currently treats around nine megalitres of wastewater from Hobart suburbs including Lenah Valley, New Town, Mount Stuart, Sandy Bay, Dynnyrne, Tolmans Hill, Mount Nelson, and Taroona. That’s approximately 110,000 average baths a day!
