Professional Summary
Eng. Dawit Getachew Mulluadam is an Ethiopian Water Supply and Environmental Engineer, registered Professional Engineer in Water Works Construction, and practical construction supervisor specializing in non-revenue water reduction, water supply systems, sanitary engineering, plumbing systems, WASH, construction supervision, asset tracking, facility maintenance support, and BIM-MEP plumbing coordination.
He graduated from Hawassa University with a BSc in Water Supply and Environmental Engineering with First Class Honors. This strong academic foundation is matched by practical field experience in urban water infrastructure, sanitary systems, construction supervision, and NRW reduction.
Dawit currently works with Miya Water International Company as Construction Supervisor for Non-Revenue Water projects in Addis Ababa. His work supports the reduction of water losses and stabilization of water supply conditions in Addis Ababa. He supervises pipe replacement, leak detection support, maintenance activities, pipeline installation, pressure testing, reinstatement coordination, contractors, technicians, site activities, safety compliance, quality standards, defect correction, asset tracking, inventory records, and progress reporting.
His contribution to Miya’s DMA-based water loss reduction work in Lemi-Kura Sub-City is particularly important. The recommendation from Miya describes his technical knowledge, leadership, responsibility, quality workmanship, documentation discipline, and effective coordination with contractors, consultants, and stakeholders. This shows that his value is not theoretical only; it is proven in real field conditions.
Before Miya Water, Dawit served as Water Supply and Sanitary Engineer with Tewodros Engineering, where he worked on water supply, plumbing, and sanitation systems for building and infrastructure projects. He supervised water distribution lines, drainage systems, sanitary fixtures, material usage, site inventories, minor repairs, corrective actions, technical reports, quantity take-offs, and as-built documentation.
His professional certifications make his profile even stronger. He has completed WHO Water Safety Planning for Urban Water Supply Systems, WHO WASH-FIT, IRC and GIZ WASH Systems Strengthening, Autodesk Revit 2024 for BIM-MEP plumbing, Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2024 for BIM project management, and water and sanitation engineering training from Nifas Silk Polytechnic.
Dawit brings strong value to AquaLinked / Water for Africa Experts because he represents the practical backbone of African water infrastructure: a field-tested engineer who can supervise construction, protect quality, coordinate teams, control materials, document progress, support water loss reduction, and deliver water supply and sanitary systems that serve communities.
