The Senior Engineer - Water Resources will be based in the Global Capability Centre in India and will support mining projects across all global regions. The role is primarily focused on hydrology and hydraulics, including flood estimation, catchment assessment, hydraulic model development, flood-risk evaluation and design support for mine water infrastructure. The successful candidate will be a hands-on modeller with demonstrated capability in TUFLOW. TUFLOW experience is mandatory. The position also includes a defined emphasis on tailings dam-break modelling, breach flood propagation and consequence mapping, while hydrology and hydraulic modelling remain the principal areas of responsibility.
Responsibilities
Undertake hydrological assessments for mine sites, including catchment delineation, rainfall data review,
design storm selection, loss modelling, rainfall-runoff modelling, flow estimation and hydrograph development.
Develop, run, calibrate, validate and review 1D/2D TUFLOW hydraulic models for riverine flooding, overland flow, mine drainage,
watercourse diversions and hydraulic infrastructure assessments.
Prepare model inputs including digital terrain models, computational meshes, roughness layers, boundary conditions, inflow hydrographs, hydraulic structures and scenario configurations.
Assess flood depth, velocity, hazard, extent, afflux, flow paths and infrastructure interaction under existing, proposed and climate-change conditions.
Interpret hydrological and hydraulic results and provide practical inputs to the design of channels, culverts, crossings, diversions, embankments, flood-protection works, ponds and other mine water management infrastructure.
Perform model stability checks, mass-balance review, sensitivity testing, uncertainty assessment and
technical quality assurance, with transparent documentation of assumptions and limitations.
Prepare flood maps, hazard maps, longitudinal profiles, time-series outputs, figures and GIS deliverables
