These professionals often work in large engineering companies specialised in the management and generation of water and in the construction of environmental infrastructures. Their mission consists in making possible the construction of new desalination plants, leading the project and supervising all phases from the design of facilities to their commissioning. This is a role that requires considerable collaborative work; commuication with the managers of each of the phases as well as external agents. Equally, in many cases, he/she will be required to manage personnel teams under his/her responsibility.

• Responsible for the planning and coordination of the commissioning of desalination plants in order to obtain the relevant handover certificate.
• Guarantee deadlines, quality and operation in the different phases of the project, from commencement to installation. In this way, he/she will be required to move around on site up until the completion of tasks.
• Establish project parameters, determining specifications and requirements, both in terms of materials and human capital, and at a quantitative and qualitative level.
• Select subcontractors and enter into dialogue with the customer, those responsible for works, and other parties involved. Organise follow-up meetings and take responsibility that all those involved thoroughly understand their roles.
• Manage the commissioning team. Supervise work, and where applicable, produce performance reports of workers.
• Plan and monitor the commissioning. During the follow-up, documents all the process, registers incidences, assess problems that emerge and propose improvements for their resolution.
• Take responsibility for the implementation of improvements where problems are encountered during commissioning.
• Carry out training of the technical team on occasions.

Management

The organisation, administration and control of a company or entity are the main interests of people related to the management field. Activities included in this field of interest vary from effective resource management, feasibility analyses and solving business problems to the development of skills and fostering of motivation in relation to human resources. Knowledge regarding specific techniques of strategic administration and business management are required to carry out these activities.

Environment

People who work in this field focus their professional interests on the preservation, improvement or restoration of the environment (vegetation, fauna, flora) in both built-up areas and natural spaces. Some of the activities that represent this field are the detection, analysis and control of pollutants, the carrying out of measurements and tests in relation to climatic or environmental variables and the reduction of the harmful effects of human activity on the environment. The carrying out of these activities requires knowledge of the environment, for its planning and use, and of environmental regulations.

Technician

People who show an interest in the technical field find fulfilment in carrying out activities related to the design and manufacture of objects, machines, vehicles and/or infrastructures. These activities require the application of scientific and technical knowledge (laws of physics, calculations and mathematical formulas, properties of the materials, etc). Creativity is also necessary when coming up with optimal solutions for the functional requirements of the products to be designed. Therefore, the pragmatic application of scientific knowledge in order to develop solutions for the benefit of human beings is the main function of occupations in the technical field.
