CDM Smith’s International Development Group is now accepting applications for Resident Engineers for the proposed IDCG RFP Energy Efficiency project. The project, initiated by the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ), aims to enhance energy efficiency in selected water and wastewater facilities across Jordan. The project encompasses several key components, including the development of feasibility studies, preliminary designs, and the preparation of tender documents for energy efficiency measures. It also involves the supervision of construction works and the implementation of energy-saving technologies in various water facilities managed by three main water companies in Jordan.

If selected, the primary objective of CDM Smith will be to support WAJ in the design and supervision of energy efficiency improvements in water and wastewater facilities. CDM Smith will be responsible for conducting detailed engineering designs, preparing environmental and social management plans, and overseeing the implementation of energy-saving measures. This includes tasks such as data collection, feasibility studies, hydraulic modeling, and the preparation of bidding documents. Additionally, CDM Smith will provide technical advice during the tendering process and supervise the construction works to ensure compliance with the project specifications.
