## Description

We are seeking a Senior Engineer - Water Resources to join our Global Capability Centre in India. You will support mining projects worldwide, focusing on hydrology and hydraulics, including flood estimation, catchment assessment, hydraulic model development, flood-risk evaluation, and design support for mine water infrastructure.

**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 clear documentation of assumptions and limitations.

- Prepare flood maps, hazard maps, longitudinal profiles, time-series outputs, figures, and GIS deliverables for engineering assessment and reporting.

- Prepare technical notes, calculation packages, model methodology reports, design reports, and presentation material suitable for internal review and client delivery.

- Coordinate with hydrologists, geotechnical engineers, tailings engineers, civil designers, and environmental specialists across global project teams.

- Provide technical guidance and model review support to junior engineers and contribute to consistent modelling workflows and quality standards.

**Tailings Dam-Break Modelling:**

- Develop and review TUFLOW dam-break models for tailings storage facilities, water dams, and associated containment structures.

- Support definition of credible breach scenarios, breach hydrographs, initial reservoir or pond conditions, and downstream boundary conditions in coordination with relevant discipline leads.

- Model flood-wave propagation, arrival time, peak depth, velocity, hazard, and inundation extent for selected breach scenarios.

- Prepare consequence mapping and model outputs to support downstream impact assessment, emergency planning inputs, and risk-informed engineering decisions.

- Evaluate sensitivity to breach parameters, terrain representation, roughness, downstream controls, and model resolution.

- Document the modelling basis, assumptions, limitations, model checks, and interpretation of results in a clear and auditable manner.

**Qualifications:**

- MANDATORY TECHNICAL SKILLS: TUFLOW MODELLING IS MANDATORY.

- Candidates must demonstrate hands-on project experience in building, running, troubleshooting, checking, and interpreting TUFLOW models.

- Strong applied knowledge of hydrology, open-channel hydraulics, floodplain processes, hydraulic structures, and 1D/2D numerical modelling.

- Proficiency in TUFLOW model setup, control files, geometry, boundaries, structures, simulations, log and check-file review, instability diagnosis, and output interpretation.

- Experience producing and checking flood depth, velocity, hazard, extent, afflux, and time-series outputs.

- Competence in QGIS or ArcGIS for terrain processing, spatial data preparation, model setup, and results mapping.

- Ability to independently solve modelling problems and communicate technical assumptions, uncertainty, limitations, and recommendations.

- High standard of technical writing, calculation documentation, file management, and quality checking.
