- Stormwater assessment and design
- Project management, broader engineering and client engagement
- TUFLOW modelling, flood impact assessments and flood studies
- MUSIC and stormwater assessments
- Technical reporting and interpretation of modelling outcomes
- Managing projects and coordinating internal resources
- Direct client and stakeholder engagement
- Mentoring junior engineers
About You
You will be a collaborative Engineer looking for a genuine long-term career move rather than simply another modelling role.
You'll ideally bring
- 5–8+ years' relevant engineering experience in Australia

- Hands-on TUFLOW experience
- MUSIC and stormwater assessment experience
- Flood studies and flood impact assessment experience
- Strong technical report writing skills
- Project management and client-facing experience
