- Conveniently located in Brisbane CBD near all transport needs
- TUFLOW * Floodplain Management * Major Land & Urban Development
- Salary $175-155k depending on experience.

Flood engineering is becoming one of the most influential disciplines in the development process.

The right modelling and engineering judgement can determine not only whether a development proceeds, but how entire communities, infrastructure and surrounding catchments ultimately perform.

A rapidly growing multidisciplinary engineering consultancy is looking for a Senior Flood Engineer to join its Brisbane CBD operation and take a leading role across an expanding portfolio of land development and flood management projects.

This is not simply a modelling position. We are looking for an experienced engineer who understands the numbers but, more importantly, understands what those numbers mean for a development, a client and the surrounding environment.

Your project involvement will include:

- Flood studies and flood impact assessments
- Hydrological and hydraulic modelling
- Flood risk assessment and mitigation strategies
- Brownfield and urban development projects
- Stormwater and drainage investigations
- Upstream and downstream development impacts
- GIS-based analysis and mapping
- Council and authority approval processes

Strong TUFLOW capability will be particularly important.

Experience across other modelling platforms and methodologies will also be highly regarded, including:

- RORB and/or WBNM
- HEC-RAS
- DRAINS

At Senior level, however, we're looking for considerably more than somebody who can build a good model.

You will take ownership of projects, interpret complex modelling results and turn them into practical engineering recommendations that developers, authorities and multidisciplinary design teams can understand and act upon.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Leading flood and hydraulic assessments
- Developing practical flood mitigation solutions
- Managing projects,



programmes and technical deliverables
- Coordinating multidisciplinary project inputs
- Managing budgets and commercial performance
- Working directly with developers and other clients
- Liaising with councils, authorities, consultants and subcontractors
- Preparing and reviewing technical reports
- Mentoring and providing technical guidance to junior engineers
- Preparing fee proposals and variations
- Contributing to improved technical standards and methodologies

Ideally, you will have at least five years' experience across flood engineering, hydrology or hydraulic modelling within the Australian consulting environment.

Exposure to residential subdivision design - including roads, earthworks, drainage, water and sewer - would be particularly useful because it gives you an understanding of how flood engineering integrates with the broader development process.

A Civil Engineering degree is required, with RPEQ accreditation highly regarded.

Just as importantly, you need to communicate.

The successful person will be comfortable sitting with a developer explaining the implications of a flood study, negotiating technical issues with an authority, helping a junior engineer solve a modelling problem and working with civil engineers to find a solution that allows the overall development to move forward.

The business itself is experiencing significant growth.

That creates an opportunity for someone joining at Senior level to establish themselves as an important part of the flood capability as the Brisbane operation continues to develop.

You'll be joining a progressive multidisciplinary environment with career development, mentoring, flexible working arrangements and access to modern engineering technology.

For a Senior Flood Engineer who enjoys the technical side but wants greater project ownership, client exposure and influence over how developments are actually delivered, this could be a very strong next step.

Note: Only Australian / New Zealand applicants with local experience are encouraged to apply.
