Senior Flood Engineer – Build Your Legacy, Not Just Your Career

3 days ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia SWM Consulting Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Are you an experienced Flood Engineer who feels like you've hit a ceiling?

You're exceptional at what you do, building RORB and TUFLOW models, writing tenders, managing projects from subdivisions to major flood studies, but you're craving more.

You want a role where your initiative isn't just appreciated, but essential. You're ready to take on complex challenges and lead projects end-to-end, while working toward a clear path to leadership and business ownership. You're not just looking for a job; you're looking for a platform to build your legacy.

Many talented engineers face a common frustration:

  • Stagnation:
    Career growth stalls while the same types of projects repeat.
  • Lack of Influence:
    You have ideas but no support or authority to implement them.
  • Vague Future:
    Leadership and ownership pathways are unclear, or don't exist.

At
SWM Consulting
, we understand that our success depends on helping our people thrive. We're not just another engineering firm; we're experienced guides who provide the framework for exceptional engineers to reach their potential. We have the clients, the projects, and the vision — now we need you to help us grow.

Your 3-Step Path to Leadership

This isn't a "sink or swim" environment, it's a
"we'll teach you to swim like a champion"
environment.

  1. Immerse and Lead:
    From day one, you'll lead diverse projects — quoting, tendering, reviewing models, and delivering high-quality outcomes. You'll be supported, but trusted to drive results.
  2. Mentor and Grow:
    Within your first six months, you'll begin mentoring junior engineers, transitioning from technical expert to team leader. You'll play a key role in shaping the next generation of flood modellers.
  3. Build and Own:
    You'll be actively involved in business development and strategic growth, helping shape SWM's future. For the right person, this path includes partnership or significant leadership opportunities.

What You Bring

  • Hydrological & Hydraulic Modelling:
    Expert-level skills in RORB and TUFLOW (1D/2D).
  • Project Scoping & Management:
    Proven ability to quote, tender, and manage multiple concurrent projects, from small-scale developments to complex flood studies.
  • Software & Analysis:
    Strong GIS capability (QGIS, ArcGIS); HEC-RAS experience a bonus.
  • Technical Reporting:
    Ability to translate complex model outputs into clear, actionable advice for clients and stakeholders.

Why Join SWM Consulting?

Choosing the wrong role means another year of "more of the same." Choosing SWM means:

  • Real influence and ownership opportunities.
  • Diverse, meaningful projects that challenge you.
  • A trusted leadership team that invests in your growth.
  • Flexibility to work hybrid or remote, with autonomy and impact.
