Hydraulic Engineer

Set up and run hydro- and morphodynamical numerical models to support projects and tenders and R&D initiatives

Using models to study wave propagation, wave penetration into ports, structure-wave interactions, etc.

Using models to study flow patterns and impacts of our works on these patterns.

Using morphodynamical models and tools to study sedimentation, beach erosion, coastline reorientation, etc.

Set up and run CFD models serving a wide variety of applications, such as fluid/wave-structure interaction, flow in dredge pipes & pumps, scour around offshore structures, vessel motions etc.

Perform analyses of (large sets of) metocean data as input to weather downtime assessments, structure design, hydro- and morphodynamical calculations or numerical models.

Develop and propose innovative designs like nature based designs

Explore and optimize novel installation techniques

Develop sustainable solutions for the hydraulic design assignments you are working on.

Increase operational efficiency by applying numerical model tools

Reporting of the studies you perform.

Follow-up of specialized consultants that perform numerical modelling studies

Advise tender or project teams on hydraulic design aspects, both during the preparation and the execution of our projects worldwide.

For tenders and projects with a large hydraulic/coastal engineering scope, you can also become (temporary) part of those teams.
