We are looking for a technically competent and motivated Hydraulic/Hydropower Engineer with 3–6 years of experience in hydraulic design, analysis and review of hydropower and water-resources projects.
The candidate will be involved in the conceptualisation, hydraulic analysis, design, modelling, review and optimisation of hydraulic structures and systems associated with dams, hydropower projects and water conveyance systems.
The role requires a strong understanding of fundamental hydraulic principles , the ability to interpret design requirements and project constraints, and the capability to develop technically sound and practical engineering solutions.
Depending on experience and demonstrated capability, the engineer will be expected to work independently on assigned components and progressively take responsibility for hydraulics of the complete project .
Key Responsibilities
A. Hydraulic Design and Analysis
Carry out hydraulic design and analysis for hydropower, dam and water-resources projects.
Develop and review hydraulic layouts for: Spillways and energy dissipation arrangements
Chutes, stilling basins and flip buckets
Intake and approach channels
Head race tunnels and tail race systems
Pressure shafts and penstocks
Surge shafts
Bottom outlets and low-level outlets
Diversion and river-flow arrangements
Sediment exclusion and sediment management systems
Canals, pipelines and rising mains
Pumped-storage project hydraulic systems
Undertake hydraulic calculations for the above structures.
Optimise hydraulic layouts considering hydraulic performance, constructability, excavation, structural requirements and project constraints .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       B. Hydraulic Modelling
Develop, run and interpret numerical hydraulic models.
Carry out 1D/2D modelling using HEC-RAS for rivers, channels, spillways, flood routing and related hydraulic systems.
Carry out transient hydraulic analysis and water-hammer studies using appropriate software such as Bentley HAMMER/WHAMO .
Develop appropriate modelling assumptions, boundary conditions, mesh/model dimensions and governing cases.
Critically assess modelling results rather than relying solely on software…
