Job Description
n
Conveniently located in Brisbane CBD near all transport needs
n
TUFLOW * Floodplain Management * Major Land & Urban Development
n
Salary $*******k depending on experience.
n
n
Flood engineering is becoming one of the most influential disciplines in the development process.
n
The right modelling and engineering judgement can determine not only whether a development proceeds, but how entire communities, infrastructure and surrounding catchments ultimately perform.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Your project involvement will include:
n
n
Flood studies and flood impact assessments
n
Hydrological and hydraulic modelling
n
Flood risk assessment and mitigation strategies
n
Brownfield and urban development projects
n
Stormwater and drainage investigations
n
Upstream and downstream development impacts
n
GIS-based analysis and mapping
n
Council and authority approval processes
n
n
Strong TUFLOW capability will be particularly important.
n
Experience across other modelling platforms and methodologies will also be highly regarded, including:
n
n
RORB and/or WBNM
n




HEC-RAS
n
DRAINS
n
n
At Senior level, however, we're looking for considerably more than somebody who can build a good model.
n
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.
n
Your responsibilities will include:
n
n
Leading flood and hydraulic assessments
n
Developing practical flood mitigation solutions
n
Managing projects, programmes and technical deliverables
n
Coordinating multidisciplinary project inputs
n
Managing budgets and commercial performance
n
Working directly with developers and other clients
n
Liaising with councils, authorities, consultants and subcontractors
n
Preparing and reviewing technical reports
n
Mentoring and providing technical guidance to junior engineers
n
Preparing fee proposals and variations
n
Contributing to improved technical standards and methodologies
n
n
Ideally, you will have at least five years' experience across flood engineering,



hydrology or hydraulic modelling within the Australian consulting environment.
n
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.
n
A Civil Engineering degree is required, with RPEQ accreditation highly regarded.
n
Just as importantly, you need to communicate.
n
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.
n
The business itself is experiencing significant growth.
n
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.
n
You'll be joining a progressive multidisciplinary environment with professional development, mentoring, adaptable working arrangements and access to modern engineering technology.
n
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.
n

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