Civil Engineer Water Johannesburg - South Africa
Assegai Recruitment
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 Experience in the development and assessment of water balances using GoldSim 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.
