Lead the development and execution of advanced 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for critical hydraulic infrastructure, including spillways, energy dissipation systems, and intake/outlet works. You will play a central role in analysing complex flow behaviours such as turbulence, transient effects, cavitation risk, air entrainment, and water-hammer phenomena to ensure robust and efficient engineering solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Direct full-cycle CFD modelling projects from setup to validation, delivering actionable insights for design improvement
- Combine numerical simulations with physical model data to calibrate and verify results, enhancing predictive accuracy
- Produce clear technical reports, visualisations, and presentations for diverse audiences, including non-specialist stakeholders
- Act as a recognised expert in hydraulic CFD within the team, ensuring adherence to quality standards and industry best practices
- Support project scoping, cost estimation, and proposal development for CFD-related services
- Supervise and develop junior modellers, promoting technical excellence and knowledge transfer
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to align modelling efforts with project timelines and objectives
- Conduct site visits when needed for data collection, surveys, or model validation
Work Environment & Culture
This role operates within a hybrid working model, offering flexibility to work remotely and from one of our UK engineering hubs in Edinburgh, Belfast, or Leeds. We support adaptable schedules and are open to discussing part-time or flexible arrangements. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning, supported by technical networks and professional development resources.
