Job Description

Lead the technical work for a nuclear-adjacent coastal study: build and calibrate a high-resolution

hydrodynamic model

, run

jellyfish/biota transport

scenarios with and without marine barriers, perform

oil-spill trajectory

simulations and recommend

barrier/deflection strategies

. Own method statements, schedule, delivery quality, and client technical interface.

Key Responsibilities

Select, configure, and

calibrate 2D/3D hydrodynamic models

(e.g., Delft3D, MIKE 21/3, ROMS, TELEMAC, ADCIRC) including tides, waves, winds, and density effects. Implement

Lagrangian/particle tracking

for jellyfish/biota transport; test barrier effectiveness and alternative layouts. Set up

oil-spill fate & transport

scenarios (e.g., OpenDrift/NOAA GNOME or equivalent) and propose deflection/containment plans. Define data needs; ingest and QC

bathymetry, met-ocean, ADCP

, satellite/reanalysis datasets; manage model skill assessment. Produce

technical reports, figures, GIS layers

, and executive summaries; present findings to client/authorities. Lead the

technical method statement

, WBS, risk register, and schedule for the tender and post-award execution. Coordinate with procurement, HSE/QA, and document control; ensure

traceability and version control

across deliverables.
Qualifications

MSc/PhD

in Coastal/Ocean Engineering, Physical Oceanography, or related field.

5+ years

(7+ preferred) hands-on experience in coastal hydrodynamic modeling and particle/oil-spill simulations. Demonstrated

model calibration/validation

expertise; skill metrics and uncertainty analysis. Proficiency with one or more stacks:

Delft3D / MIKE 21/3 / ROMS / TELEMAC / ADCIRC

,

SWAN/WAVEWATCH III

,

OpenDrift/GNOME

. Strong scripting & data skills:

Python/Matlab

,

GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS)

, NetCDF/OPeNDAP, ERDDAP. Experience preparing

method statements, BOQs/LoE estimates, schedules

, and client presentations. Gulf/Arabian Sea regional experience and familiarity with

regulated or nuclear-adjacent sites

are pluses. Excellent written and verbal English; stakeholder-facing communication.
Nice to Have

Knowledge of

QA systems

(ISO 9001; exposure to ISO 19443/NQA-1 desirable). Familiarity with

Aconex/EDMS

, data books, and MDR compilation. Awareness of site access, security badging, and HSE requirements for critical facilities.
