A leading consulting engineering firm is seeking a Civil Engineer - Water Resources to join their Engineering Hydrology Division in Johannesburg.

Hydrology:
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 (eg, MAP, MAE, MAR).
• Catchment delineation.
• Surface water runoff calculations (eg. 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.

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.

• BSc. Eng. (Civil) / BEng. (Civil)
• Preferably a MSc or MEng in Hydrology and Hydraulics
• Around 5 - 7 years experience in relevant work
