A hydraulic systems engineer deals with the design, construction, maintenance and repair of various types of hydrotechnical structures. These structures are intended to manage water in natural, urban and agricultural environments. Water structures are engineered structures designed to control the flow of water, retain, store or protect against excessive amounts of water.

There are many types of water structures, each of which has its own specific use. The most common types are:
- Dams: Structures designed to retain water in rivers, creeks or streams. Their purpose is to regulate the flow of water and store it. They are usually used to supply domestic water, irrigate plants or produce electricity.
- Retention reservoirs: Artificial reservoirs that collect rain or flood water for flood protection, irrigation of agricultural areas, recreational areas or for industrial purposes.
- Hydroelectric power plants: Structures that use water energy to produce electricity by turning water turbines. Hydroelectric power plants are an important source of renewable energy and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Levees: Structures designed to protect riverine areas from flooding by controlling water flow and keeping areas from flooding.
Plumber of water structures systems – economic sectors
Water structures have a wide range of applications in various fields:
- For agriculture: They provide irrigation for agricultural fields, storage of water for irrigation purposes and protection against floods.
- For industry: They are used to cool equipment, produce electricity, transport goods, as well as supply industrial water.
- For urban planning: They improve the quality of life of residents through access to drinking water, regulation of the flow of rivers and streams, and protection against floods.
Water structure systems are created to ensure sustainable management of water resources, protect against natural disasters, meet social, agricultural and industrial needs, and produce renewable energy. Their role in ensuring security, economic development and environmental protection is crucial in various areas of social and economic life.
Due to the size of construction, logistical difficulties and capital intensity of this type of projects, they are usually carried out in cooperation with government institutions. For this reason, the number of jobs for plumbers in water structures is much smaller than those with general, industrial or construction specialization. At the same time, for the same reason, these are positions with better earnings.
