He has completed several assignments related to soil conservation and erosion control, roads, bridge projects, irrigation and hydrological modelling. Currently he is working at , Pulchowk Campus as Professor of Civil Engineering. He worked in the capacity of Assistant Dean (Examination) and Executive secretary of Examination board of the Institute of Engineering, from 2003 to 2007. He has been associated to this institute since 1984. He has been also working in the capacity of the coordinator of post graduate program in water resources engineering and chairman of water resources instruction committee of civil engineering department since 1998. For last two decades he has been teaching engineering hydrology, numerical simulation, water resources planning and management, irrigation engineering, hydro power engineering, water induced hazards, hydraulics, soil bio-engineering Water Supply Engineering, Sanitary Engineering and hydraulic structures in under graduate and post graduate levels. He has taken the responsibility of establishing the post graduate programs and several laboratories in the Institute and developing several post graduate level courses, designing and conducting Pre Ph.D. courses and curricula. He is also project coordinator for NOMA (Norway) supported Master Degree program in Water Resources and Hydropower Development jointly with NTNU (Trondheim, Norway). He has so far supervised more than 100 Master theses on Hydrological and hydraulic modeling, Water Resources Management and Planning, Floods, Debris Flows, Soil Bio engineering, Climate Changes etc. and two Ph.D. theses. Currently he is also advisor to Kathmandu Engineering college affiliated to Tribhuvan University. He has completed several assignments related to hydrological modeling for (1) Assessment of vulnerability to climate change impact on high Altitude lakes of Nguzompa valley and GLOF hazard (WWF, , 2007, team leader), (2) Assessment of impact of global climate change on south Asia Water Resources and Mountains ( APN, 2001-2004), (3) Hydraulic and Water quality Simulation of Phewa lake (JICA, 2002), (4) impact of forest clearing due to resettlement programme in the hydrology of catchment of Khageri irrigation system (Irrigation Department, 1997), (5) Study of Tsho-Rolpa Glacier Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) ( DHM, Nepal, 1996), (6) Hydrological modeling of Ratu River for Flood Risk and Vulnerability mapping (UNESCO, 2006) and (7) Flood Hazard mapping and modification of Dhobi-Khola channel along project corridor ( Kathmandu Metropolitan City, 2004). In addition, he has also accomplished hydrological studies for the design and rehabilitation of more than 100 bridges and related river training works. Hydrological/sedimentology critical review of previous studies and analysis of Melamchi Diversion Project (Nippon Koei, 1999), Hydrological study on identifying water transport demand along Kali Gandaki River (2000, Ministry of Works and Transport), Hydrological study for identifying water transport demand along Koshi river (1999, Ministry of Works and Transport), Hydrological Analysis of Debris flow Mechanism in Garjuwa Khola Landslide and Gullies (department of roads, 2001), Additional Water augmentation to Khageri Irrigation System ( 1997, Department of Irrigation) are other few assignments related to hydrological analysis done by him. From 1999 to 2000 he was engaged in accomplishing hydrological aspects in Water Resources Strategy formulation for Nepal Phase II study. He was also entrusted in critical examining, reviewing and comments on the work conducted by Tahal (Consultants of Israel) for four years duration on Institutional development of Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, a project funded by EU. He has developed course manuals and conducted more than 40 field based hands on training in soil bio engineering for engineers, technicians of Department of roads, Department of watershed and Soil conservation and other projects and institutions (1996 onwards). In this connection he has also fulfilled the assignment of Expatriate Bioengineering soil conservation consultant for MRE India Project (ICIMOD, 1998). Dr. Shakya has also concluded the assignment of Nepal-Denmark watershed development Project to prepare manual and conduct training of trainers for engineers, Foresters, Geologists, Agriculturists from various institutions in Survey, Design and Estimation of Watershed Management activities and run two cycles of training for mid-level technicians in Watershed management sector (2001). Several trainings on Water supply and Sanitation for technicians of Water Supply and Sanitation Department and Corporation have been designed and conducted by him (1986, WHO) and small hydel projects. He has also prepared curricula for community based on site training on hazard (land slide and erosion ) mitigation of degraded lands and conducted on the site training to community people in assessing designing and implementing Bio-engineering system at degraded land at PanchKhal valley of Kavrepalanchok district (ICIMOD, MRE, 1999) as well as course structures and outlines of course contents in civil engineering and Bio-engineering related topics for curriculum on Post-graduate course in Mountain Risk Engineering (MRE, 1997-1998) He was the principal investigator for study on sustainable water management, irrigation system and rehabilitation of degraded lands in Jhikhu Khola watershed at Panchkhal (1999-2000, FORD Foundation) and research on hydraulics of sprinkler irrigation system (1995, FORD Foundation). Dr. Shakya has also numerous experiences in completing detail designing and construction supervision of hill as well as plain irrigation systems, e.g. Detail design and construction supervision of canal systems, drainage systems, protection works and related structures of Sunsari Morang Irrigation Project (1987-1988, Nippon Koei), Detail Design of Gitachour-Rawokot Irrigation Project , Singane Irrigation Project Bhojpur, and Chhange Irrigation Project (1983, Department of Irrigation) and feasibility studies of small hydel projects. He has led many high level committees formed by Institute of Engineering. He has served as Executive member of International Hydrology Programme, UNESCO/Nepal (from 1996), Member Mountain Risk Engineering (MRE), Nepal and member of consultative committee of International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Nepal (from 1997 to till date) Currently he has also served as head of Civil Engineering Department, Pulchowk Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University. He has also worked as review expert for hydrology report of Pancheswore hydro-power project, Budhiganga hydro-power project, Nalsing Gad Hydro-power Project, Budhi-Gabdaki Hydro-project.
