Description:
A well established company based in Hilton is seeking a Engineering Hydrologist.
Duties:
• Collaborate on the development of national and regional water balance plans.
• Assist in assessing water availability, allocation, and distribution.
• Conduct analysis to determine water resources yield and plan for sustainable utilization.
• Evaluate water availability for various uses.
• Perform catchment hydrology assessments, including rainfall-runoff modeling.
• Understand and quantify surface and groundwater interactions.
• Develop design flood hydrology models.
• Assess flood risk and design appropriate mitigation measures.
• Utilize hydraulic models to analyse water flow, flood routing, and drainage systems.
• Optimize stormwater management infrastructure.
• Create conceptual designs for stormwater infrastructure.
• Size stormwater conveyance systems and storage facilities.
• Evaluate flood risk in various scenarios.
• Determine flood lines and floodplain boundaries.
• Calculate water and salt balances for specific catchments.
• Understand the movement and distribution of water within the system.
• Prepare comprehensive scientific reports related to hydrological studies and findings.
