About the role.Technical Design and Expertise: Crafting initial concept designs, conducting preliminary calculations, compiling material summaries, drafting specifications, and establishing design guidelines. Engage in in-depth coastal engineering computations and analyses to aid in the development and design of coastal defense mechanisms, ports, and maritime facilities. This involves determining structural wave loads, executing wave-structure interaction simulations, and evaluating coastal dynamics and risks. Project Leadership: Overseeing project operations and related activities, which include field investigations, data examination, simulation, interpretation, and analysis of marine and coas phenomena such as wave patterns, currents, sea levels, and sediment dynamics. Innovation in Solutions: Employing cutting-edge coastal engineering techniques to address challenges posed by natural coastal threats (e.g., flooding, erosion, sedimentation, tsunamis) and human activities (e.g., pollution, brine dispersal, waste management) within the context of climate change. Fieldwork Oversight: Directing and participating in field operations for site assessments and data gathering, inclusive of coastal and offshore reconnaissance and inspection of maritime and harbor structures. Growth and Development: Actively partaking in business development pursuits, utilizing technical knowledge to pinpoint opportunities, and fostering robust client and stakeholder relationships to transform opportunities into project ventures. About you: Advanced academic background in Civil, Hydraulic, Coastal, or Ocean Engineering.A minimum of 10 years of professional experience in Coastal Engineering, underscored by a solid grounding in project oversight and business developmentBroad general understanding of Ports, Terminals and Marine industry coupled with prior experience with several key coastal projects.Skilled in the use of coastal modeling tools and engineering computations pertinent to coastal and port developments.e.g. (Delft3D, SWAN, SWASH, Telemac, Mike 21/3, Mohid, etc.).and the ability to learn proprietary software Experience in engineering calculations, analyses and designs related to and/or in support of coastal and port projects (shoreline protection, breakwaters, groynes, water intakes and outfalls, dredging design, definition of wave loads for structural design, etc.). Experience or interest in shoreline recovery, climate change, environmental engineering and/or marine habitat restoration. FEED, Detailed Engineering, EPCM experience would be an assetOutstanding analytical, organizational, and communicative abilities, with proficiency in English; additional language proficiency is advantageous.
