Civil Engineer - Water Resources

SUMMARY:
Looking for a Civil Engineer - Water Resources in the Engineering Hydrology division. The candidate will be directly accountable to the Head of Department

POSITION INFO:
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) 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 Experience in the development and assessment of water balances using GoldSim is a requirement for this position. 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 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 Other Skills: The following additional technical and personal skills are considered important: Good understanding of surface water management, particularly in a mining and industrial context Working knowledge of legislation, regulations, and guidelines pertaining to water management in the mining and industrial context Excellent written and spoken English, including technical report writing skills Good interpersonal skills, with the ability to work, interact, communicate, and contribute positively in a team environment Demonstrated project management skills Software: General: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Projects, AutoCAD (Civil 3D) Specialised: GoldSim, PCSWMM, HEC-RAS, UPFLOOD, WRSM2005, Flo-2D, QGIS\/ArcGIS, ModelMaker Advantageous : Programming \/ coding experience (Visual Basic, Python) Requirements BSc Eng (civil) \/ BEng (civil) Preferably MSc or MEng in Hydrology and Hydraulics 5 to 7 years' relevant experience aligned with the responsibilities listed below Valid South African driver's license.
