Abstract
Engineers do work round the clock to ensure that life of every human being is made easier.
Different engineers have different roles although their roles are known to assist each other for
example transport engineer performs several operations including Supervision of the process of
maintenance and analysis of the general repair of the transport systems, Participation of the
biding of contract and investigation of the problems of the traffic and provide a recommendation
for the improvements. Water engineer also performs another task alongside Preparation of the
tender documents on the basis of the construction, technical submissions review and liaise with
other professional for consultant services. This particular task covers the specific roles of the
engineers together with the tools

Introduction
Professional engineers are bound by a statutory responsibility, which incorporates a Code of
Ethics and necessitates that they put open welfare over every other intrigue. Authorized
specialists must finish particular scholastic and work encounter prerequisites to acquire their
licenses. As per the Professional Engineers Act, the present routine with regards to building in
the arrangement of drinking water incorporates, among different obligations, the outline of water
treatment plants and conveyance frameworks1. Likewise, the proficient building is regularly a
vital segment of development administration, appointing, and tasks and support. Proficient
designers take an interest as controllers (at the common and metropolitan government levels),
proprietors (utilized by districts managing water framework), and in applying new
advancements.
Transport Engineer
Prepares the schedules, budgets and other specifications for labor or other materials
Supervision of the process of maintenance and analysis of the general repair of the transport
systems2.
