Hydraulic Modeller
Calibre Search are working alongside a leading Environmental and Engineering Consultancy who deliver innovative flood risk, hydrology, geomorphology, and climate resilience solutions to their clients including the Environment Agency, NRW, local authorities, and developers.
They are a family of Environmental, Engineering and Risk Management companies committed to exceptional service and helping clients and communities build resilience to flood and environmental risk in a changing climate. They are leading the way to integrate science and technology to provide our clients with a forward-thinking view of climate resilience.
Due to an increase in workload, they are looking to add to a number of Hydraulic Modellers to their team and work alongside their planning, engineering and design teams. These projects make a difference to local communities and the environment, serving a range of public and private sector clients.
With a background in hydraulic modelling, you will work on a variety of flood risk modelling and mapping related projects. Their projects include detailed flood mapping, from site to catchment scale, integrated flood risk modelling and nature-based solutions and climate adaptation strategies. You will support their engineering and design teams to develop practical solutions for complex engineering and environmental challenges
Your key responsibilities will include delivering high-quality modelling outputs and take ownership of technical delivery and champion innovation and apply cutting-edge tools and methods. You will collaborate with clients, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams, support junior colleagues, contribute to business development, explore AI, and machine learning applications with their Data Science teams
Possessing a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in environmental science, geography, mathematics or related field, you will have strong experience in flood risk hydraulic modelling (one or more of these packages: Flood Modeller, HEC-RAS, InfoWorks-ICM, MIKE+, TUFLOW). You will be confident using 1D, 2D and 1D/2D techniques in rural and urban environments, be proficient in GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS) and terrain data analysis and understand UK flood risk policy and management approaches.
Desirable skills include a knowledge of hydrological methods (e.g. FEH), a knowledge of a broad range of modelling techniques, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and coding in Python or R. Although not essential, experience working with design teams, managing projects and liaising with clients and technical writing and survey brief preparation would also be beneficial.
They are focused on helping their staff develop their skills and offer a generous training budget to every member of staff, as well as a professional development programme and support in the attainment of professional qualifications including chartered membership. They invest in their staff's mental health and wellbeing, encouraging them to maintain a healthy work-life balance and organising social activities from bake sales and book clubs to badminton.
