The Individual
The post will be an integral member within the Water Environment and wider Environment
Department. Working most closely with staff from within the Water Environment Team the hydraulic
modeller will provide direction and technical supervision of junior staff. The successful applicantwill
be required to manage their own workload and the workload of others to meet project
requirements.
Requirements
Previous experience (3-5 years) in hydrology is essential. Preferably in the area of flood risk
although other disciplines will be considered. The successful candidate will have experience of
industry standard packages such as FEH, HYSIM, Low Flows 2000, HEC-RAS, and ISIS. An
understanding of and experience in the use of other, bespoke hydrological models e.g. RAFTS,
RAIN IMS etc would be advantageous. Although training will be provided it is expected that the
candidate will have previously demonstrated a competency. Some knowledge of GIS packages will
be an additional advantage. The candidate will be working towards obtaining chartered status.
Excellent communication skills are required to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Responsibilities
consultants on a number of framework and panel appointments
including a National Framework for Flood Risk Mapping and Catchment Flood Management for the
Environment Agency. This and other frameworks generate the need to undertake hydrological and
hydraulic modelling to determine modelled water levels for given design flows and as such
determine flood risk; and to undertake Environmental Impact Assessment exercises to determine
the impact and effects of flood mitigation measures on the environment. The Environment Team
also undertake Flood Risk, Flood Consequence and Environmental Assessments for development
applications. The post will be responsible for the delivery of projects and in particular the production
of technical reports, including presentation to clients.
