Key to our growth is the continuous development of our technical expertise in understanding the context of water quality within environmental systems. Through integration with other expertise in urban and natural catchments, we work with a range of stakeholders to help clients and communities develop solutions that sustainably and efficiently deliver environmental performance. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and imaginative water quality modeler to join an ambitious expert team in a role that will provide plenty of scope for technical development and career progression in the coming years through existing contracts and client relationships both in the UK and overseas.
You will work within a core of scientific and engineering experts, supporting a range of clients, primarily from the water sector but also the energy and infrastructure sectors. Together, we will identify pollution sources, pathways, and impacts on sensitive receptors and develop engineered and nature-based solutions.
The role encompasses scoping, data collection, development, execution, and presentation of multidimensional environmental water quality models. These models simulate the behavior of reservoirs, lakes (Loughs and Lochs), transitional, and coastal waters.
This position offers the right person a genuine opportunity to improve our environments and communities. We seek driven individuals who think differently and love to challenge conventional thinking. Our expanding project portfolio identifies water quality solutions that meet community needs, including reducing carbon and improving biodiversity.
About You
You will have extensive experience in 2D / 3D hydrodynamic and water quality modeling and either have attained or be working towards chartered membership in a relevant professional institution. As an experienced professional, you are expected to work independently and with minimal supervision, with extensive relevant experience that includes the following:
- A good understanding of numerical modeling equations and discretization, 2D mesh generation.
- Experience using numerical modeling software such as MIKE, Delft3D, and Telemac, with proven applications in relevant fields. This experience might include modeling hydrodynamics, multiphase flows, particle tracking, advection dispersion, water quality, and chemical processes.
- Ideally, you will also have a basic understanding of physicochemical water quality, as well as a good understanding of oceanography and the associated regulatory standards for fresh and/or marine waters.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the experience and confidence to liaise with a broad range of stakeholders working closely with clients, as well as other professional staff across multidisciplinary business groups.
