HYDRAULIC MODELLER

PURPOSE OF THE JOB:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Hydraulic Modeller with expertise in WaterGEMS and wastewater projects to join our dynamic engineering consultancy team. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, calibrating, and maintaining hydraulic models to support the design, analysis, and optimization of water distribution and wastewater collection systems. The Hydraulic Modeller will work closely with project managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of projects.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and maintain hydraulic models of water distribution and wastewater collection systems using WaterGEMS.
• Update models with the latest data, including network configurations, demand patterns, and operational settings.
• Calibrate hydraulic models using field data to ensure accuracy and reliability.
• Validate models through comparison with observed system performance and adjust parameters as necessary.
• Perform hydraulic analyses to evaluate system performance under various scenarios, including peak demand, emergency conditions, and future growth.
• Identify and diagnose issues related to pressure, flow, and capacity constraints.
• Prepare detailed technical reports and presentations summarizing findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
• Collaborate with project teams to integrate hydraulic modeling results into design and planning activities.
• Provide technical support during the design and construction phases of projects.
• Assist in the preparation of proposals, cost estimates, and project schedules.
• Communicate modeling results and technical information to clients, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.
• Participate in meetings, workshops, and public presentations as required.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in hydraulic modeling software and methodologies.
• Provide training and support to junior staff and team members on hydraulic modeling techniques and software usage.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field. A Masters degree is preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in hydraulic modeling of water and wastewater systems.
• Proven experience with WaterGEMS or similar hydraulic modeling software.
• Strong knowledge of hydraulic principles and fluid mechanics.
• Proficiency in using WaterGEMS for model development, calibration, and analysis.
• Familiarity with other modeling software (e.g., EPANET, SWMM) is a plus.
• Experience with GIS software and tools for data integration and analysis.
