Sandton: Water Resources Engineer

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 drivers license. 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) Experience in the development and assessment of water balances using GoldSim is a requirement for this position. Duties and Responsibilities include: 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 Hydraulics: 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
