We value wellness and flexibly, your role can be part-time or full-time, and you can be based in Newcastle or any of our other Northern NSW offices (Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbor, Tuggerah, Tamworth, Orange or Lismore).

Working with an energetic and high performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:

  • A broad range of projects including major infrastructure, flood risk assessments and mitigation, stormwater and waterway management
  • Conducting hydrology, hydraulic modelling, flood modelling and mapping
  • Leading hydrological and hydraulic modelling and analysis to inform planning studies through to detailed design of new infrastructure.

  • 7 – 15 years of experience in the water industry
  • Experience with using hydrology and hydraulic modelling software GIS, TUFLOW, HEC-RAS or MUSIC
  • A good understanding of industry standards such as AR&R.
