Water Resources Engineer
Assegai Recruitment (Pty) Ltd
South Africa,
Requirements: BSc Eng (civil) / BEng (civil). Preferably MSc or MEng in hydrology and hydraulics. 4 to 8 years’ practical experience in work similar to that described below Experience in the development and assessment of water balances using GoldSim Duties and Responsibilities: The candidate will be required to carry out hydrological analyses focused mainly on, but not limited to: Acquisition and processing of hydrological data (rainfall, runoff, evaporation). Hydrological parameters (e.g, MAP, MAE, MAR). Catchment delineation. Surface water runoff calculations (e.g. MAR, seasonal and dry weather flows, etc.) for site specific catchment areas. Flood peak runoff calculations (applying industry acceptable deterministic, statistical, empirical and dynamic modelling methods). Water balance analysis and modelling (principles of conservation of mass, including dam sizing). Reservoir and canal routing (dynamic water level analysis). Floodline determination. Surface water impact assessment. Flood risk and flood hazard assessment. Development and assessment of water balances using GoldSim Hydraulics: The candidate will be required to carry out hydraulic analyses and designs, focused mainly on, but not limited to: Water surface backwater profiling (applying the principles to be used in floodline modelling). Flood attenuation (whether in reservoirs or upstream of culverts, applying the principles to determine the attenuated volumes, reduced release peak flows, etc.) Canal flow (applying hydraulic theory and principles for free surface flow). Spillway design (hydraulic design and optimisation with flood routing and attenuation calculations). Energy dissipating and erosion control structures. Dam break analysis. Software: General: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Projects, AutoCAD (Civil 3D). GoldSim, PCSWMM, HEC-RAS, UPFLOOD, WRSM2005, Flo-2D, QGIS/ArcGIS, ModelMaker. Programming / coding experience (Visual Basic, Python) will be an advantage. #J-18808-Ljbffr
