A plumbing engineer is a professional who specializes in the design, sizing, installation, and maintenance of plumbing systems in buildings or structures. They typically work in collaboration with architects, builders, and other engineers to ensure that plumbing systems meet applicable codes and regulations, are efficient and cost-effective, and provide reliable and safe water supply, drainage, and ventilation. Some of the tasks that plumbing engineers may perform include creating plumbing system schematics, selecting and sizing plumbing equipment, designing waste and water distribution systems, estimating project costs, and overseeing the installation and testing of plumbing systems.
