As with many questions on here, you don't give enough information, like which branch of engineering we're talking about.
Speaking as a drainage engineer a shaft infall would be where surface water or foul would collect from given points in a complex or housing estate and eventually run into one large run.
Liquids of course cant run up hill unless pumped, but will readily go down. If for example a housing estate was built on a high plateau and sewage treatment plant was in a much lower position a few miles away the quickest way to get the foul and surface excess away from the estate and on its way to wherever is to drop it down a shaft to bring it more level with the surrounding land.
The tribuataries and pipe formations that leads to shafts like these are called infall. There are few towns in Shroppshire England that have their fluid waste taken this way, because of the hilly areas on which they're built.
The actual street where the Hovis AD (Climbing t' top of world) was filmed employs a similar system to accommodate the properties at the top of the hill. I believe it was filmed in the Dales somewhere.

That depends, what kind of job is the interview for??
Might give a better idea of what type of shaft you are referring to...
