The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Water Resources Engineer / Project Managerwith deep technical expertise in advanced numerical modelling using the MIKE software suiteby DHI. The ideal candidate brings 810 years of handson experiencein hydrodynamic hydrological and waterquality modelling underpinned by strong engineering judgement and proven projectdelivery capability.

Core Technical Responsibilities

• Develop calibrate and validate MIKE 1D/2D hydrodynamic modelsfor river systems floodplains drainage networks and complex hydraulic structures. MIKE enables simulation of water movement using river crosssections interconnected branches and integrated GISbased spatial analysis.
• Perform waterquality and ecological modellingusing MIKE ECO Lab dynamically coupled with MIKE hydrodynamic engines (e.g. MIKE) to assess physical chemical and biological processes pollutant transport eutrophication potential and TMDLrelated scenarios.
• Apply MIKE modelling frameworks for floodrisk assessment drainage master planning dambreak simulations river basin management and urban stormwater evaluations including integration with digital elevation models for overland flow analysis.
• Produce high quality model outputs to support decisionmaking mitigation strategy design scenario testing and compliance with environmental and regulatory standards.
  

Project & Leadership Responsibilities

• Lead endtoend project management including proposal development technical scoping resource planning client engagement reporting and delivery of highquality technical site visits stakeholder consultations and technical workshops to translate complex modelling results into actionable engineering insights.
• Mentor junior engineers in hydraulic modelling MIKE workflows and best practices in model calibration data management and interpretation.
• Ensure adherence to modelling standards QA/QC procedures and robust documentation throughout the project cycle.

Required Technical Competencies

• Advanced proficiency with MIKE including modules for 1D/2D hydrodynamics rivers overland flow rainfallrunoff integration and GISlinked model configuration.
• Strong command of MIKE ECO Labfor multiparameter waterquality modelling including nutrient dynamics dissolved oxygen pollutant loading and ecological response modelling
• Familiarity with MIKE integration of hydraulic structures(culverts weirs tide gates pumps) scenario assessments and modelbased evaluation of drought/flood conditions.
• Excellent ability to handle large datasets perform calibration using longterm hydroenvironmental data and interpret model behaviour under varying hydrological conditions.

Other Essential Skills

• Excellent communication skills for conveying technical findings to clients regulators and multidisciplinary teams.
• Strong leadership team coordination and the ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic project environment.

What We Offer

• A challenging role with room for your own innovations and ideas.
• Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance.
• A supportive environment that encourages innovation continuous learning and career progression.
• The chance to work alongside passionate and talented colleagues from around the world.
