Where a drainage engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a drainage engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

They evaluate the options to design drainage systems that meet the requirements while ensuring compliance with legislation and environmental standards and policies. Drainage engineers choose the most optimal drainage system to prevent floods, control irrigation and direct sewage away from water sources.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a drainage engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
