Graduate Hydraulic Modeller

What would you be doing?

You will start with 6-8 weeks of technical training taking you through every step of the data and modelling process. Once you’ve learnt all the technical aspects of the role you will quickly become an integral part of the team, given responsibility early on to work on client projects. You will be involved in every step including the scoping, development and assessment of a variety of urban drainage and flooding projects. Depending on each project, you will either be part of the team working on a large project or working on your own project but under the direction of a senior modeller. Typical activities might include:

• Initial feasibility studies and site works visits
• Gathering data from clients, databases and other sources
• Verifying, analysing and modelling data effectively, in collaboration with other team members
• Scoping of surveys
• Building hydraulic models using GIS
• Generating synthetic rainfall in the computer model
• Assessing model outputs and reporting on findings
• Developing both hydraulic and environmental solutions to the water industry
• Liaising with clients directly, producing reports and/or contributing to presentations for clients
• Designing data interfaces, incorporating graphs, tables and visual layouts

You’ll be using a system called Innovyze ICM to build the models, which you’re unlikely to have come across before. It’s an advanced integrated catchment modelling software that allows you to model complex hydrologic and hydraulic network elements quickly, accurately and collaboratively.
