Job Summary

Red Ember recruitment is recruiting for a Water Resource Engineer for our client in Sandton.

Requirements

The candidate will be required to carry out hydrological analyses focused mainly on but not limited to:

Acquisition and processing of hydrological data (rainfall runoff evaporation)
Hydrological parameters (e.g. MAP MAE MAR)
Catchment delineation
Surface water runoff calculations (e.g. MAR seasonal and dry weather flows) for site-specific catchment areas
Flood peak runoff calculations (applying industry-acceptable deterministic statistical empirical and dynamic modelling methods)
Water balance analysis and modelling (principles of conservation of mass including dam sizing)
Reservoir and canal routing (dynamic water level analysis)
Floodline determination
Surface water impact assessment
Flood risk and flood hazard assessment

Hydraulics:

The candidate will be required to carry out hydraulic analyses and designs focused mainly on but not limited to:

Water surface backwater profiling (applying the principles to be used in floodline modelling)
Flood attenuation (whether in reservoirs or upstream of culverts applying the principles to determine attenuated volumes reduced release peak flows etc.)
Canal flow (applying hydraulic theory and principles for free surface flow)
Spillway design (hydraulic design and optimisation with flood routing and attenuation calculations)
Energy dissipating and erosion control structures
Dam break analysis
