Conveniently located in Brisbane CBD near all transport needs
TUFLOW * Floodplain Management * Major Land & Urban Development
Salary $*******k 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 professional development, mentoring, flexible working arrangements and access to contemporary 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.
Interested?
Note: Only Australian / New Zealand applicants with local experience are encouraged to apply.
