Good organisational and time management skills. Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook). A safety-first mindset with commitment to health and safety practices.

Qualifications
BSc degree (or equivalent) in Water Resource Engineering or Civil Engineering with hydrology and hydraulics modules. MSc in hydrology and/or hydraulic design is advantageous. Competency with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling software (e.g., HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, PCSWMM) and GIS and CAD platforms is desirable. Experience with GoldSim Monte Carlo Simulation software and programming languages (e.g., Python, R, C) is advantageous. Membership of a relevant professional organisation is preferred.
