Responsibilities
You will lead the technical hydraulic and hydrological work across a mixed portfolio of infrastructure design, feasibility studies, and donor-funded programs. Working directly with the Technical Director, you own the modelling, design, and technical writing from raw data to the final deliverable.
Your core work will cover hydrological modelling for catchment analysis, rainfall-runoff, flood frequency, and water balance studies; hydraulic modelling of rivers, open channels, and urban drainage systems; 1D/2D flood modelling and flood hazard mapping; water distribution and drinking water network design and analysis; stormwater and sewer network modelling for urban drainage and master planning; and detailed engineering design for water supply schemes, drainage works, flood protection, and water harvesting infrastructure.
You will produce engineering drawings, write technical reports and design notes to a professional standard, and contribute to feasibility studies and EIA technical inputs on water-related components.
Beyond delivery, you will play an active role in business development leading the technical methodology, work plan, and experience sections of proposals and tenders, and supporting the continuous development of the firm's credentials library.
